EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

INTRODUCTIONThe Government of Nigeria is implementing the multi-sectoral Nigeria Erosion and Watershed Management Project (NEWMAP), financed by the World Bank, Global Environment Facility, the Special Climate Change Fund, and the Government of Nigeria. The Project Development Objective (PDO) of the NEWMAP is to reduce vulnerability to soil erosion in targeted sub-catchments.. (NEWMAP PIM, 2013).This it tends to achieve by improving erosion management and gully rehabilitation; increase incomes for rural households from improved agricultural and forest practices through the use of conservation agriculture, agroforestry, natural regeneration, etc.; and gain efficiency in public administration and public spending through improved knowledge base, analytical tools, multi-sectoral coordination and stakeholder dialogue.Various documents have been prepared in line with NEWMAP, and they include; Environmental and Social Management Framework (ESMF), Resettlement Policy Frameworks (RPF), Project Appraisal Document (PAD) prepared for the Nigerian Erosion and Watershed Management Project. This report focuses on the Abbreviated Resettlement Action Plan (ARAP) developed for the Rehabilitation of the Ojoto Gully Erosion in Idemili South LGA of Anambra State Nigeria.The aim of the RAP is to identify and assess the human impact of the proposed works at the Ojoto Gully Erosion Site, and to prepare an Action Plan to be implemented in coordination with the civil works in line with World Bank Policy and Nigeria policies and laws. Experience has shown that involuntary resettlement can cause loss of income, assets, and community ties that, especially among the poor, can be essential for survival and wellbeing. In extreme cases, involuntary resettlement can lead to the dissolution of families, impoverishment and health problems. The ARAP will identify the project-affected persons (PAPs), engage them in participatory discussions regarding the plan and formulate an action plan for compensation.DESCRIPTION OF THE PROPOSED PROJECTThe proposed rehabilitation works is part of the intervention programme of the World Bank (NEWMAP sub-project), which is aimed at reclaiming of the already degraded part of the region for subsequent utilization of land for either agricultural purposes or other developmental projects. Proposed solution to ameliorate the erosion problem is proper management of prevailing flood flow path to the gully and subsequently control the gully using adequate drainage systems such as culverts, drains, chute channels and stilling basins, rip-rap resting on geotextile, then gabion check dams placed along the gully bed to slow down the flow velocity, etc.The proposed hydraulic structures within each section were designed based on the design discharge for that location. Engineering and Feasibility studies report prepared by the SMEC Group revealed that the canals were designed for 50 year return period and checked for 100 years return period and other hydraulic structures, including cross-drainage culverts, stilling basins (energy dissipation), chutes and detention ponds, were designed for 50 year return period and checked for 100 years return period.

The precast pitching is proposed to be used for reinforced concrete canal back fill stabilization in the last 240m of proposed reinforced concrete canal at gully head. This back-fill protection measure is more suitable for direct rainfall protection as well as side runoff. The proposed precast interlock blocks are locally produced and can easily be installed by involving the local communityThe non-vegetated slopes are subject to frequent and sometimes serious erosion process, due to stormwater runoff. Vetiver grass was researched, tested, and developed throughout the tropical regions. Accordingly, the main bio-remedial measure proposed at Ojoto site is Vetiver grass and bamboo trees on the gully bank slopes of less than 450 and also in gully bed.The Project AreaThe Ojoto gully erosion site stretches out over 2.42 km along the meandering alignment and its catchment area is 960ha majorly in Ire Village, Ojoto Unoh. The lower reach comprises of farm lands that have been long abandoned for farming activities due to the porous soil nature, approximately 0.24km is under sediment deposition due to lower velocity in wider gully section with not well defined bank line. The remaining 1.66km at middle reach of the gully is slowly eroding at gully wall toe, as a result residents along the pathways have spontaneously relocated to other part of the communities. The outer bends of this section is causing the formation of gully steep slope and 0.52km at upper reach is under severe erosion due to steep bed slope. The middle and upper reaches of the gully need an immediate attention to stop the gully erosion development. The gully represents deep and narrow cannels in the gully head area whereas at tail shallow depths and wider channels, the last 240 m has no defined bank lines. The gully plan form shows meandering behaviour particularly in middle reach. The main gully has no existence of finger gullies from either side. Topographically, the right side catchment area of the gully slopes towards gully head and the rainfall generated runoff as sheet flow (nearly 30 % of total runoff) of this area joins to last 240 m reach of the gully which has no gully wall (flat area).The Ojoto gully erosion site stretches out over 2.42 km along the meandering alignment and its catchment area is 960ha majorly in Ire Village, Ojoto Unoh.

xi

A number of national and international environmental guidelines are applicable to the operation of the NEWMAP. The Bank’s policy on Involuntary Resettlement advocates that where feasible, involuntary resettlement should be avoided or minimized. Resettlement shall be conceived and executed as a sustainable development program, where it is inevitable, providing sufficient investment resources to enable persons displaced by the project share in project benefit.This RAP will be aligned with the World Bank Operational Policies including Involuntary Resettlement Policy, which indicate best practices for rehabilitation of livelihoods of people affected by the implementation of the project.IDENTIFICATION OF PROJECT IMPACTS AND PROJECT AFFECTED PERSONSThe inventory taken showed that land acquisition will occur as a result of the project. This is mainly along the 10m setback ofthe gully corridor which will be reserved for planting of economic trees that will help control erosion as well as provide some source of livelihood for the community. Also section used for traditional worship (Akwuo Shrine) will be impacted which falls within the 10 meter setback within the corridor of the gully. Also a burial site of Joseph Austin Jekwu’s late father will also be impacted. This setback was deduced from the engineering design document as well as discussion with the design engineers.

Crops planted on farmlands and associated economic trees were observed as important features that would be affected in the event of the proposed work along the corridor of the gullies. It was also observed that crops planted within the gully corridor as well as encroachment of structures and fences are other categories of impacts by the proposed work.

IMPACT REDUCTION MEASURESThe following are technical steps taken in consultation and concurrence of Anambra State NEWMAP PMU and the Design Engineers which have resulted in the reduction of adverse impacts of the project:

The engineering design for the intervention using gabion retaining walls and interlocked blocks over filtered materials at critical areas near the gully corridor (especially close to structures) was employed. This will help retain the existing structure thereby preventing possible demolition of the structure. Also geotextile was also employed in some areas.

The setback for access and buffer on the corridor was made known to the stakeholders to be 10 meters and that in the event of work in such locations all affected properties are to be removed by their owners to give the required right of way for the work.

Consulting/communicating with the people of the project area and PAPs in particular on the day and time to expect civil work activities within their respective location. This will give the PAPs opportunity to harvest mature crops before the beginning of civil works.

It should be noted that Payment of compensation is a condition precedence for relocation of PAPs. Upon receipt of compensation, PAPS properties shall be removed before start of works.

Census of Project Affected Persons (PAPs)

xii

The outcome of the census conducted shows that 131 assets will be potentially impacted. Which include persons that will be potentially impacted or suffer socio-economic losses as a result of sub-project activities as well as some Family Owned assets.Analysis of Impacts and Income Restoration Measures for Vulnerable Group/PAPsAmong the 131 PAPs, Seventy-two (72) vulnerable persons were enumerated during the RAP census which included eighteen widows andelderly poor persons (above 60 years) with dependents. There was no vulnerable PAP in the category of HIV-AIDS persons and child headed households. One disabled persons was identified as part of the PAPs.

Performance Indicators for Assessing Income RestorationIt is the responsibility of the monitoring and evaluation officer or the Safeguard Officer at the PMU to design a schedule and budget for monitoring the implementation of the RAP which will begin before project implementation and continue through the life cycle of the project. The monitoring indicators, for the ARAP income restoration progress is attached as annex 1 of this report.The Valuation methodologyThe asset valuation was conducted based on the current market prices in the project area. For some materials, prices vary on the basis of quality, taste and product brand. Therefore, in such cases the average market price plus 2% price flexibility adjustment was used for the valuation.Valuation Method for Land PropertyIn line with OP 4.12 of the World Bank on involuntary resettlement as stated in the entitlement matrix, land for land entitlement is prescribed. The cost for Land within the 10m setback along the gully corridor was determined by considering the replacement cost of land within the project area while considering proximity to the erosion and level of damage caused by the Erosion. This was placed at N300,000/Plot of Land (i.e.100 sqm). Land compensation shall be only for the 10m offset that the project is acquiring.

Replacement Cost Method for Assets/StructuresThe Replacement Cost Method, which is used in estimating the value of the property/structure, is based on the assumption that the capital value of an existing development can be equated to the cost of reinstating the development on the same plot at the current labour, material and other incidental costs. The DaLa method was also employed in the assessment of cash crops and economic trees.Disturbance and Other Incidental ContingenciesAffected business premises which will have to close shop or be relocated will be given compensation for loss of business time/income and cash or in kind assistance to enable the relocation of affected property. This has been factored into the full compensation and details are shown in Annex 3.STAKEHOLDERS /FOCUS GROUP ENGAGEMENTThe public consultation strategy for the RAP activities evolved around the provision of a full opportunity for involvement for all stakeholders, especially the

xiii

PAPs. Concerns raised by the stakeholders are documented and incorporated in this report and used to develop mitigation and/or enhancement measures for the GRM.The stakeholders were informed of the visits through the existing communication line between the SPMU and the communities. The Community leaders through the use of town criers, church announcements and phone calls, informed the rest of the community of the proposed meetings.Consultation Method: A combination of various consultation methods were used to assess knowledge, perception and attitude of the groups consulted concerning the project, and its potential environmental and social impacts. An Advocacy Visit, Focal group meetings, Town hall meeting and Feedback meetings were conducted.The advocacy visit meeting was held on 11th February 2017at the community Town hall which included Association Executives, Youth executives and women group executives.A general meeting where all the stakeholders and community members were given a general overview of the project, the component and information regarding the RAP especially the census/inventory and other relevant information in the RPF and TOR. The second stage meeting involved the consultant and the PAPs after the census exercise. The meeting provided feedbacks, clarifications and responses as well as announcement of the cut-off date.

BUDGET AND FINANCING PLANSince the Anambra State Ministry of Environment is the one impacting livelihoods, it will be their responsibility to fund the ARAP budget. It will be financed through the projects administrative and financial management rules and manuals like any other sub-activity of the project eligible for payment under this project.ARAP Compensation Process: The compensation process will involve several steps in accordance with the report.Compensation Payment Administration: The resettlement budget details prepared in this RAP shall be the guide for the Consultant/NGO to be engaged for RAP paymentResettlement Implementation Linkage to Civil WorksBefore any project activity is implemented, PAPs will need to be compensated/resettled in accordance with the entitlement matrix/budget plan established in this ARAPSummary of Budget Estimate for RAP ImplementationS/N DESCRIPTION TOTAL

This has been built into the RAP Budget.GRIEVANCE REDRESS MECHANISMThe likelihood of dispute is much reduced because the few affected persons due to the erosion control project have been greatly consulted. Nevertheless, the Grievance redress mechanisms designed herewith has the objective of solving disputes at the earliest possible time, which is in the interest of all parties concerned; it thus implicitly discourages referring such matters to the law courts for resolution, which would take a considerably longer time. GRC will hear complaints and facilitate solutions; and the process, as a whole, will promote dispute settlement through mediation to reduce litigation.MONITORING AND EVALUATIONThere will be two levels of monitoring; namely internal monitoring and external monitoring. Under internal monitoring the SPMU monitoring and evaluation officer will head this task with the M&E Unit while an external monitoring and

xv

evaluation officer will be engaged to assess whether the SPMU has fulfilled its commitments to resettlement as elaborated in the RAP in terms of the delivery of entitlements to PAPs, livelihood restoration and other measures.

1 CHAPTER ONE: INTRODUCTION

1.1 BackgroundThe ecological menace of erosion is a major disaster that continues to threaten landmass in Nigeria. Some of these erosion have resulted due to natural and human causes. Over 6,000km2 of land are affected by erosion and about 3,400km2 are highly exposed. In some areas of southern Nigeria, farmland degradation has caused yield reductions of between 30% and 90%, and as much as a 5% drag on agricultural GDP. Erosion has a devastating effect on many peoples’ lives and destroys infrastructure essential for economic development and poverty alleviation (NEWMAP ESMF, 2012). Gully erosion contributes to environmental problems and damage estimated at over $100 million annually (mostly in South-Eastern Nigeria) (NEWMAP PIM, 2013). It creates channels of various sizes through concentrated runoff on definite routes, which result in systematic removal of soil particles, including plant nutrients, from one location to another, and even in worse cases destruction of lives and properties. In view of this, the Government of Nigeria is implementing the multi-sectoral Nigeria Erosion and Watershed Management Project (NEWMAP), financed by the World Bank, Global Environment Facility, the Special Climate Change Fund, and the Government of Nigeria. The NEWMAP is aimed at reducing vulnerability to soil erosion in targeted sub-catchments. The project is currently being implemented in 19 states namely Cross River, Abia, Ebonyi, Imo, Enugu, Anambra, Edo, Gombe, Kogi, Kano, Katsina, Nasarawa, Akwa Ibom, Bauchi, Borno, Plateau, Delta, Oyo and Sokoto, states. The NEWMAP finances activities implemented by State and Federal Government.The Project Development Objective (PDO) of the NEWMAP is to reduce vulnerability to soil erosion in targeted sub-catchments.This it tends to achieve through erosion management and gully rehabilitation; increase incomes for rural households from improved agricultural and forest practices through the use of conservation agriculture, agroforestry, natural regeneration, etc.; and gain efficiency in public administration and public spending through improved knowledge base, analytical tools, multi-sectoral coordination and stakeholder dialogue.NEWMAP Components are divided into 4 viz;Component 1: Erosion and Catchment Management investment

Sub-component 1A Gully Rapid Action and Slope Stabilization Sub-component 1B Integrated Catchment Management Sub-component 1C Adaptive Livelihoods

Component 2: Erosion and Catchment Management Institutions and Information Services

Sub-component 2B State MDA Effectiveness and Services Sub-component 2C Local Government Capacity Sub-component 2D Private Sector Capacity

Component 3: Climate Change Agenda SupportSub-component 3A Policy and Institutional Framework Sub-component 3B Low Carbon Development

Component 4: Project ManagementThis program is financed through an 8-year Strategic Investment Loan (SIL) of $508.59M, consisting of a $500M IDA concessional loan blended with GEF and SCCF grants totalling $8.59M. The Government of Nigeria’s contribution will amount to approximately $150M. This contribution only reflects the costs currently directly attributable to Project activities but will also include the cost of liaison officers from each MDA which is yet to be reflected. The calculated amount comprises (i) a federal contribution both cash and in-kind of $83.34 for duties, taxes, staff and office costs and (ii) a cash and in-kind contribution by each state of approximately $6M (for each of 11 states totalling approximately $67M) for resettlement, staff and office costs and pre-feasibility designs of intervention sites. State contributions to project financing are an agreed criterion for project participation (PAD, 2012).Various documents have been prepared in line with the NEWMAP, and they include; Environmental and Social Management Framework (ESMF), Resettlement Policy Frameworks (RPF), Project Appraisal Document (PAD) prepared for the Nigerian Erosion and Watershed Management Project. This report focuses on the Resettlement Action Plan (RAP) prepared for the Rehabilitation of the Ojoto, Gully Erosion Site, Idemili South LGA in Anambra State, Nigeria.The project area cuts across majorly Ire Village in Ojoto Uno ofOjotoin Idemili South Local Government Area.The Ojoto gully erosion site stretches out over 2.42 km along the meandering alignment and its catchment area is 960ha majorly in Ire Village, Ojoto Unoh. The lower reach comprises of farm lands that have been long abandoned for farming activities due to the porous soil nature, approximately 0.24km is under sediment deposition due to lower velocity in wider gully section with not well defined bank line. The remaining 1.66km at middle reach of the gully is slowly eroding at gully wall toe, as a result residents along the pathways have spontaneously relocated to other part of the communities. The outer bends of this section is causing the formation of gully steep slope and 0.52km at upper reach is under severe erosion due to steep bed slope. The middle and upper reaches of the gully need an immediate attention to stop the gully erosion development. The gully represents deep and narrow cannels in the gully head area whereas at tail shallow depths and wider channels, the last 240 m has no defined bank lines. The gully plan form shows meandering behaviour particularly in middle reach. The main gully has no existence of finger gullies from either side. Topographically, the right-side catchment area of the gully slopes towards gully head and the rainfall generated runoff as sheet flow (nearly 30 % of total runoff) of this area joins to last 240 m reach of the gully which has no gully wall (flat area).

18

The NEWMAP intends to rehabilitate the gully erosion site and reduce longer-tern erosion vulnerability in the targeted areas. This activity will be employed through some civil works such as construction of infrastructure and stabilization of the gully. An engineering design report has already been prepared for the Ojoto gully erosion rehabilitation, which highlights on the detailed civil works that will be carried out. This RAP study will therefore, aim to identify potential and significant adverse impacts as it relates to loss of assets or involuntary resettlement that will be associated with the rehabilitation and to propose means of minimizing and/or mitigating them to acceptable levels.

1.2 Environmental and Social Safeguard ConcernsThe environmental and social safeguards concerns for NEWMAP are addressed through two national instruments already prepared under the project: an Environmental and Social Management Framework (ESMF) and a Resettlement Policy Framework (RPF). 1. Environmental and Social Management Framework (ESMF): In general,

the ESMF specifies the procedures to be used for preparing, approving and implementing a) Environmental/Social Assessments (ESAs, or alternately both an SA or an

EA) and/or b) Environmental/Social Management Plans (ESMPs, or alternately both an

EMP and SMP) for individual civil works packages developed for each project. ESMPs are essential elements for Category B projects. The ESMF will serve as a guide for the preparation of this ESMP for Ojoto gully Erosion site since the World Bank OP/BP 4.01-Environmental Assessment is triggered as a result of the civil works.

2. Resettlement Policy Framework (RPF): The RPF applies when land acquisition leads to the temporary or permanent physical displacement of persons, and/or loss of shelter, and /or loss of livelihoods and/or loss, denial or restriction of access to economic resources due to project activities. It sets out the resettlement and compensation principles, organizational arrangements and design criteria to be applied to meet the needs of project-affected people, and specifies the contents of a Resettlement Action Plan (RAP) for each package of investments. A Resettlement Policy Framework (RPF), which serves as a practical tool during the programme formulation, design, implementation and monitoring, was prepared for NEWMAP, which serves as a guide for the present terms of reference. The activities of Component 1 will involve civil works in specific intervention sites – that is, construction of drainage works and/or rehabilitation of gullies. This could result in the acquisition of land or displacement of families, business or public infrastructure, thus triggering the World Bank OP/BP 4.12 – Involuntary Resettlement.

19

1.3 Purpose of the Abbreviated Resettlement Action PlanThe aim of the ARAP is to identify and assess the human impact of the proposed works at the OjotoGully erosion Site, and to prepare an Action Plan to be implemented in coordination with the civil works in line with World Bank Policy and Nigeria policies and laws. Experience has shown that involuntary resettlement can cause loss of income, assets, and community ties that, especially among the poor, can be essential for survival and wellbeing. In extreme cases, involuntary resettlement can lead to the dissolution of families, impoverishment and health problems. The ARAP will identify the project affected persons (PAPs), engage them in participatory discussions regarding the plan and formulating a plan of action to adequately compensate people for their losses.

1.4 Justification for the preparation of an ARAPThe Policy of the World Bank is to ensure that persons involuntarily resettled caused by the taking of land in the context of a project supported by the Bank, have an opportunity to restore or improve their level of living to at least the pre-project level. Project affected people should participate in the benefits of the project and they should be given options regarding how they restore or improve their previous level of living. In the NEWMAP project it is not sufficient for communities to passively accept project works and the impacts of these works. Rather they must be mobilized to contribute actively to project design and implementation and to maintain the woks following implementation. This feature underscores the need for accurate analysis of local social organization.

Although majority of the civil works will occur within the ROW for public facilities, involuntary resettlement is triggered according to OP4.12 of the IDA because the impacts of the sub-projects might cause persons and communities to be economically worse off and may fuel crises in the project area, which could render the project unsustainable.

The core requirement of the OP 4.12 – Involuntary Resettlement is as follows:

Avoid or minimize involuntary resettlement where feasible, exploring all viable alternative project designs.

Assist project affected persons in improving their former living standards, income earning capacity, and production levels, or at least in restoring them back to the former status

Encourage community participation in planning and implementing resettlement.

Provide assistance to affected people regardless of the legality of land tenure.

20

A Resettlement Action Plan (RAP) is prepared where major impact is anticipated, that is;

if affected people will be physically displaced More than 10% of their productive assets/total land hold are lost/acquired

and More than 200 people are to be directly adversely affected.

However, an ARAP is prepared where minor impacts are envisaged. That is the reverse of the conditions stated above for a RAP. This is envisaged for the Ojoto gully erosion sites.

1.5 ARAP MethodologyThis ARAP involves a number of coordinated approaches and action plans tailored towards addressing the scope of work and objectives set out in the TOR. The Consultant took the following steps and approaches:

1) Initial meetings with Anambra State NEWMAP SPMU and the Engineering Design Consultant

This meeting offered the opportunity to clarify relevant issues in the terms of reference and to agree on deliverables and timelines. The outcome of this meeting culminated in the collection of relevant documents from project proponent, Engineering design team and other relevant bodies. These documents include Engineering Drawings, Resettlement Policy Framework for NEWMAP, Environmental and Social Management Framework for NEWMAP, NEWMAP Project Implementation Manual (PIM), NEWMAP Project Appraisal Document (PAD), Nigeria Land Use Act (1978) and World Bank guidelines and Policies on Involuntary Resettlement.

Also the consultant held several meetings with the engineering consultants (SMEC Ltd) to discuss on the design concept. This helped in throwing more light on the approach for the proposed civil works as well as the measures taken to minimize impact. All relevant document were collected.

2) Literature Review

The team duly reviewed all the relevant documents. The review exercise was helpful in understanding the relationship and gaps in the policy frameworks of the World Bank on one hand and the country laws and policies on involuntary displacement. Also it helped in understanding the actual design for the intervention. From the review of the policy documents stated above, the necessary requirements for this ARAP were ascertained.

21

3) Initial/Reconnaissance Site Visit and Stakeholder Consultation

This step was important to determine the magnitude and nature of the anticipated impacts identify the affected communities, community leaderships and associations in which potential PAPs belong. It was also used to consult with the stakeholder whose assistances and cooperation is expected to ensure sustainable project implementation.

4) Engagement of field officers/enumerators

Enumerators were selected from the consultant’s office and this selection was based on field experience.

The field officers were trained on the use of the survey instruments and on the nature of the policy guidelines that underlay the project. This was undertaken with mock exercise carried out to test their understanding and capabilities before embarking on field survey.

5) Identification of PAPS and Affected Assets

Identification of project-affected persons (PAPs) was based on the following considerations: Owners of assets/structures within 10 meters set back along the corridor of the gullies as well as Owners of assets/structures along the right of way (ROW) where the drainage construction will take place. This was done taking into cognizance the location of public utility (electricity) poles along the ROW. Details on this are presented in Chapter Five

6) Consultation of Affected Communities, PAPs and MDAs

Series of consultations were undertaken in the course of the preparation of the RAP. The consultant engaged the Traditional Rulers, Town Associations/Union leaders, Women leaders and other community organizations in the dissemination of information to the project area. The essence of this was to inform them of the exercise and invite all stakeholders and project affected persons to a public consultation with date, venue and time specified. Focus group consultations were also carried out with the PAPs, Vulnerable groups and Women groups.

2 CHAPTER TWO: DESCRIPTION OF THE STUDY AREA

Plate1Map of Anambra state showing Idemili South and Ojoto project area.

2.1 Overview of the Project StateAnambra StateAnambra State is one of the five (5) states that made up the southeast geopolitical zone of Nigeria with a landmass of over 4120 km2. The state has a population of 4,055,048 (2006 Population Census). Anambra state is situated on a low elevation on the eastern side of the River Niger and shares boundaries with Kogi, Enugu, Abia, Delta, Rivers and Edo states.

2.1.1 Local Government AreasAnambra state comprises of 21 Local Government Areas (LGAs), namely: Aguata, Anambra East, Anambra West, Aniocha, Awka North, Awka South, Ayamelum, Dunukofia, Ekwusigo, Idemili South, Idemili South, Ihiala, Njikoka, Nnewi North,

23

Nnewi South, Ogbaru, Onitsha North, Onitsha South, Orumba North, Orumba South and Oyi.Ojoto is the project area, which serves as the headquarters of Idemili South Local Government Area of Anambra state.

2.1.2 ClimateThe climate of Anambra State is an equatorial tropical rainforest type. It is characterized by two (2) main seasons; the rainy (wet) season and the dry seasons. The rainy season is characterized by heavy thunderstorms and lasts between the months of April and October. The dry seasons extends from November to March, annually.

2.1.3 TopographyThe most outstanding feature in the area is the Awka-Orlu escarpment with its eastern, gully indented escarped slopes. Its dip slope runs gently with undulating topography, dipping south-westwards into the plains of the River Niger near Onitsha. The dip slope has major gully sections developed in it. The Oraukwu gully extends to Alor at the slope of the Idemili River. Nri which could be associated with Ojoto postulated history stands on a mock hill which is bounded by two extensive depressions, hence forming a seemingly prototype horst. The surrounding depressions or gorges are possibly fault lines and grabens.

2.1.4 GeologyAnambra State lies in the Anambra Basin and has about 6,000 m deep of sedimentary rocks. The sedimentary rocks comprise ancient Cretaceous deltas, somewhat similar to the Niger Delta, with the Nkporo Shale, the Mamu Formation, the Ajali sandstone and the Nsukka Formation as the main deposits. On the surface the dominant sedimentary rocks are the Anambra Shale, a sequence of grey shales, occasional clay ironstones and Sandstone beds.

The Anambra Shale underlies the eastern part of the state, particularly in Ayamelum, Awka North, and Oruma North LGAs. Next in the geological sequence, is the Ameke Formation, which includes Nanka Sands, laid down in the Eocene. Its rock types are sandstone, calcareous shale, and limestone in thin bands. Outcrops of the sandstone occur at various places on the higher cuesta, such as at Abagana and Nsugbe, where they are quarried for construction purposes. Nanka sands out crop mainly at Nanka and Oko in Orumba North LGA.

Lignite was deposited in the Oligocene to Miocene; and it alternates with gritty clays in places with outcrops of lignite occurring in Onitsha and Nnewi. The latest development in the geological formations of Anambra is the Benin Formation or the coastal plain sands deposited from Miocene to pleistocene. The Benin Formation consists of yellow and white sands. The formation underlies much of lhiala LGA. Thick deposits of alluvium were laid down in the western parts of the state, south and north of Onitsha in the Niger and Anambra river floodplains.

24

2.1.5 Landforms and DrainageAnambra State falls into two (2) main landform regions: a highland region of moderate elevation that covers much of the state south of the Anambra River, and low plain region to the west, north, and east of the highlands. The highland region is a low asymmetrical ridge or cuesta in the northern portion of the Awka Orlu Uplands, which trend roughly southeast to northwest, in line with the geological formations that underlie it. It is highest in the southeast, about 410 m average above sea level, and gradually decreases in height to only 33 m in elevation in the northwest on the banks of the Anambra River and the Niger.

The lower cuesta, formed by the more resister sandstone rocks of the Anambra Shale, rises to only 150 m average above sea level at Umuawulu and decreases in height northwest ward to only 100m less in Achalla. Its escarpment faces the Mamu River plain and has a local relief of between 80m and 30 m west of it. This is the highest cuesta, formed by the sandstones of the Ameke Formation. Its height is above 400m in the southeast at lgbo-ukwu and lsuofii decreasing north-westward to less than 300m high at Agbana, and to only 100m high at Aguleri (Anambra State Tourism Board, 1991).

2.1.6 VegetationAnambra state is located in the Rainforest Belt, which is characterized by growth of tall trees with luxuriant foliage and thick undergrowth. The presence of climbers and epiphytes forming complex tangles is commonplace. The forest with graded tops and continuous canopy of wide leaves are typical where human activities are limited. Oil palm trees are common, and swampy areas have thick cover of raffia palms. This typical tropical rainforest vegetation is disappearing in many parts of Anambra State, giving way to derived savannah vegetation of scrambled bushes. This is due to high rate of human activities in form of deforestation as lands are cleared for purposes of farming and construction. Formation of pockets of derived savannah grassland is also accelerated by active erosion.

2.1.7 SoilThe soils in Anambra State vary from loose variable sandy soils to compact, wet and plastic clayey soils. Most of the soils are laterite in nature and are often derived from the underlying geologic unit or transported from nearby areas. Some of the soils are cemented and indurated to form thin to thick ironstone capping or bands. They vary from dark greenish-grey, grey to reddish brown, brownish to yellow in colour. Some are however mottled or variegated. Their thickness varies from a few centimetres to more than 20 m in extremely thick ones (Onwuka, 2008).

Overall, three (3) soil types can be recognised in Anambra State. They are: (i) alluvial soils, (ii) hydromorphic soils, and (iii) ferallitic soils. The alluvial soils are pale brown loamy soils. They differ from the hydromorphic soils in being relatively immature, having no well-developed horizons while the ferallitic soils typically have a low silica content and a high content of aluminum and iron.

25

2.1.8 Ecological and Watershed IssueAnambra state experiences high concentration of thunderstorm rainfall during the rainy season with a large runoff volume, which is of significant environmental importance. It initiates deep weathering and leading of soils and rocks in the area. The high intensity of rainfall and concomitant of large volumes of runoff generated accelerate erosional activities, thus degrading the soil. The prevalent erosional activities in the form of sheet wash, rill/channel erosion and gully erosion have caused huge damages to the landscape especially along the slope of the Awka-Orlu escarpment which traverses much of the central parts of Anambra State that encompasses Ojoto in Idemili South. The erosion issues have exacerbated overtime due to the extensive forest clearing, often by rapid development, and continuous cropping with little or no replenishment of soil nutrients.

2.2 Overview of Ojoto

Origin of OjotoThe name Ojoto was derived from the combination of two brothers named Ojo and Oto. The two brothers migrated with their other brothers Alorjuam and Adike from Nri. Nri was believed to be one of the sons of Eri whose father was Gad and were the Israelites who migrated southwards through Sudan to the presentday settlement during the mass Exodus of the Jews out of Egypt.

While their most senior brother Alorjuam settled at the present day Alor town, Ojo, Oto and Adike continued southwards to the present day Ojoto. However, Adike continued to migrate and later established and formed the present day Obosi.

Today, Ojoto is made up of eight principal villages which according to seniority are as follows: Ezieke, Ojor, Enugo, Ire, Ndeabo, Umuezema, Umuchem and Ezema. These villages are thus spread four on either side of Idemili River that dissected the town into two parts (Obiofia and Unoh) and thus, form the territorial spread of Ojoto community.

Location of OjotoOjoto occupies a land area of about 32 sqaure kilometers and has a population density of about 500 people per square kilometer.According to the National Population Census of 2006, Ojoto recorded a population of 34,000 people.Ojoto is bounded in the north by Ojoto, Uke, and Ideani, in the south by Ichi and Oba, and in the west by Nnobi and Nnewi.Ojoto is one of the communities that make up Idemili South Local Government Area of Anambra State, Nigeria. It serves as the administrative headquarters of Idemili South Local Government Area.

26

Climate, Relative Humidity and Vegetation The climate is comparatively equable. Ojoto enjoys mean temperature of about 32ºC during the hottest period of between February and April. It varies between 1520mm to 2030mm. The vegetation is a semitropical rainforest or deciduous rainforest.

GeologyOjoto geologically is underlain by Bende Ameki geology formation. The soil is predominately sandy, less-cohesion, loose, friable and brittle. This makes it prone to splash erosion, sheet erosion, rill erosion and gully erosion.

Government of OjotoFor ease of governance and management, Ojoto is divided into two sections viz: Ojoto North (Ojoto Unoh) and Ojoto South (Ojoto Obiofia). Each runs a separate union which enhances and provides local governance and management of its people. While Progressive Union Ojoto (PUO) administers Ojoto Unoh, Ojoto south development union administers Ojoto Obiofia.However, the federated union known as Ojoto Akanasato union is the government of Ojoto and is not subjected to anybody, group or authority within Ojoto. Its constitution is supreme and its provision is binding on all people of Ojoto.However, the two sectional unions, Age Grades, the Youths, Omenani society, Umuada, and Umuokpu are recognized by the union and are all arms of Ojoto Akanasato Union.Generally, Ojoto people are loving, progressive, neighborly and resourceful. Ojoto people believe in consultation, dialogue and consensus of opinion in resolving conflict. Ojoto people are easily mobilized.

OccupationThe main occupation of Ojoto people are farming, commerce, blacksmithing, hunting, fishing, wine tapping, trading, craving, civil service, etc.

Markets in OjotoThere are two major markets in Ojoto namely Eke/Afor Ojoto which is sited at Ojoto Unoh while Ifeadigwo is located at Ojoto Obiofia. Eke/Afor market session rotates once in every four days, however, it holds daily in the morning hours. Ifeadigwo market is a daily market and recently, a building material market has been built also at Ojoto Obiofia.Wares sold in the markets are palm produce, agricultural produce, farming implement, clothing etc.

27

Streams and Rivers in OjotoOjoto is dissected equally into two sections by the Idemili River which originates from Agulu Lake and are named variously on its way through Ojoto starting from East: Mili Ogbugbuefi, Mili Ojiyi, Mili Otoja, Mili Ideligba, Mili Okwuegbe, Mili Okpontu, Mili Daniel, Mili Iyiofolo, Mili John, and Mili Idoto.The river is heavily silted with sand and clay collected from its watershed mainly during the rainy season.

Land Tenure System in OjotoMajority of land in Ojoto are communally owned, however, Land can be privately owned through inheritance, purchase or gift. Communally owned lands according to Ojoto land tenure system are usually under the supervision of a member of the kindred (the Okpala or the most senior in the kindred or village) who allocates portions of land to members of the village or kindred for use only.

Health Institution in OjotoThe State Government established one public Health Centre in each of the two sections of Ojoto. Also in place are Health posts in the villages vary far from these Public Health Centers.However, there are other health institution privately owned that operate in the community. At present, requests made by the community to the state Government for the upgrading of the public Health Centre at Ojoto Obiofia to General Hospital status has not received favorable attention.

Grievance Redress MechanismThere are numerous institutions put in place in Ojoto to which grievances could reported to with the aim of solving the problem without taking the option of law suits.Firstly, cases are reported before the kindred from where it could be appealed to the village meetings. The age grades also settled disputes between members. Other groups to which grievances could be taken for redress include the council of Ozo-title members, town union, Igwe-In-Council etc. It is not a common practice to report any common mortal to the police without exploiting other available options though it depends on gravity of offence.

Endangered SpeciesSome animals and trees are in the verge of going into extinction as a result of man’s activities such as seasonal bush burning and uncontrolled hunting. Animals like lions, deer, antelope which are common are hardly come by in recent

28

years.Some trees species such as Ebony, Iroko, Obeche and other highly valued hard wood are under serious threat for extinction.

Religion The religion of Ojoto people is based on the existence of a supreme being called God or Chukwu. The God is regarded with awe, fear and mystery. Ojoto religionists worship him through intermediary gods such as, Ukpakaoto, Chi, Ideligba, Iyi osu, Ogwugwu, Udoh etc.Some trees are also worshipped such as Udula tree, Ngwu tree. The gods can be divided into two: those of God and those of devil. The first class of gods works for good while the second class of gods works for evil.Ofo is regarded as a symbol of authority, holiness and truth by Ojoto traditionalist. No one’s talks evil or tells lies before Ofo. Ofo also symbolizes purity, Seniority, Headship and Honesty.Majority of Ojoto people have recently embraced Christianity. Anglicanism was introduced to OjotoObiofia in 1893 by Rev. P. A. Benneth a British, and in 1905 Rev. Father Joseph Shanaham Introduced Roman Catholicism to Ojoto Unoh. In 1907, Catholicism was brought to Ojoto Obiofia by Rev. Father Grace (Oral interview).There are other religious nominations such as Pentecostals Churches, Cherubim and Saraphin and the Fellowship churches etc seen during field work.

Ojoto Traditional InstitutionOjoto maintains a traditional system headed by an Igwe or Eze and represents Ojoto on ceremonial occasions, and receives important visitors to Ojoto. He helps to maintains peace in the community and he is the custodian of culture, custom and tradition of Ojoto. Igweship is rotary between Ojoto Unoh and Ojoto Obiofia in order of village’s seniorities. Regulation guiding the selection of Eze or Igwe Ojoto is stipulated in the constitution of the town union.

Festival in OjotoChristmas, New Year and Easter which are Christian festivals are adopted and celebrated in Ojoto, that are peculiar to her culture, custom and tradition.

Ufejioku FestivalsThis is a cultural festival that is celebrated annually mainly in the month of July. It signifies the end of planting of yams and is used to thank the gods of land and pray to him for good harvest. It is an occasion designed to celebrate accident- free yam planting season.It is a happy occasion where friends are being invited from far and wide for merriment, enough delicacies are provided and drinks. Masquerades’ outing are common especially new ones and other entertainments.Ufejioku is perceived as Men’s’ festivals as it is dedicated to yam, a crop regarded as belonging to men. Yam is also regarded as the king of crops in Igbo land.

29

Egwueke FestivalThis festival celebrated during the month of august each year is feminine in nature. It signifies the end of planting of cocoyam and is used to thank the earth goddess and pray to her for good harvest. It is occasion to celebrate accident free cocoyam planting season. Egwueke is perceived as Women’s’ festivals as it is dedicated to cocoyam, a crop regarded as belonging to women. Women is also regarded as the Queen of crops in Igbo land.A place called Iyi osu in Ojo village Ojoto is designated for celebration of Egwueke festival. The deity Iyi osu was believed to have come from Osumenyi in Nnewi South Local Government Area and was said to have aided Ojoto in winning wars during inter communal wars with her neighboring towns.Ilo MuoThis festival of Ilo muo is performed annually to signify commencement of harvesting of yams and other major matured crops. It is seen as abnormal for one to harvest his yam crop before this festival which is also seen as provoking to the gods of harvest.

Taboos in OjotoOjoto custom forbids a number of practices which are meant to regulate behavioral pattern of the society and curbing some abnormal behaviors which are serious to the well-being of the society. Oral interviews revealed some of the behavioral patterns or practices that are perceived as taboo in Ojoto land

It is a taboo for women to climb palm trees or kola nut trees in Ojoto It is forbidden for any person to steal yams. Any person who commits such

would be ostracized or possibly forced into self-exile for a period of time. It is a taboo to commit suicide or murder. The murderer must go into self-

exile for seven years. It is a taboo to kill a python [Eke Idemili] or to kill the monkey belonging to

Ukpakaoto. If killed accidentally, it must be buried with ceremony. There are many other taboos in Ojoto that are sacred and highly respected.

2.3 Existing Condition of the Project Area

The Ojoto gully erosion site stretches out over 2.42 km along the meandering alignment and its catchment area is 960ha majorly in Ire Village, Ojoto Unoh. The lower reach comprises of farm lands that have been long abandoned for farming activities due to the porous soil nature, approximately 0.24km is under sediment deposition due to lower velocity in wider gully section with not well defined bank line. The remaining 1.66km at middle reach of the gully is slowly eroding at gully wall toe, as a result residents along the pathways have spontaneously relocated to other part of the communities. The outer bends of this section is causing the formation of gully steep slope and 0.52km at upper reach is under severe erosion

30

due to steep bed slope. The middle and upper reaches of the gully need an immediate attention to stop the gully erosion development. The gully represents deep and narrow cannels in the gully head area whereas at tail shallow depths and wider channels, the last 240 m has no defined bank lines. The gully plan form shows meandering behaviour particularly in middle reach. The main gully has no existence of finger gullies from either side. Topographically, the right-side catchment area of the gully slopes towards gully head and the rainfall generated runoff as sheet flow (nearly 30 % of total runoff) of this area joins to last 240 m reach of the gully which has no gully wall (flat area).

Field visits revealed that the gully at upper reach is being eroded due to high velocity generating sediment load in running flow and thus the total sediment loads resulted from both gully and catchment erosion are being deposited in lower reaches of the gully which is characterised as a floodplain area. Field investigation from some of the locals revealed that during wet period the water level of the existing stream is higher than the gully outfall bed level which generates back water effect to some extent on gully outfall discharge. It was also observed that there is no habitation/homestead adjacent to gully on both sides and at east far Ire and Umuchem villages, there exists steep gully slope with gully wall height varying about 10 to17m. The width of the gully varies from 5m to 50m with steep gully wall beginning from the tail to mid chainage respectively along with two deep existing scour holes at upper reach (Feasibility report). The section of the gully is generally V shape at upper 300m reach and trapezoidal at middle reach. No structures are found across/over the gully alignment except existing concrete canal with drop structures (old) at gully head and one road box culvert at Ire Village.

The NEWMAP intends to rehabilitate the erosion gully site and reduce longer-term erosion vulnerability in the targeted areas. This activity will be employed through some civil works such as construction of infrastructure and stabilization of the gully. A Feasibility study report and an Engineering Design report have already been prepared for the gully intervention, which highlighted the detailed civil works that will be carried out.

The rehabilitation works will trigger some of the World Bank Safeguard Policies including Environmental Assessment OP 4.01, Natural Habitats OP 4.04,Physical Cultural Resources OP 4.11 and Involuntary Resettlement OP 4.12.

2.3.1 Physical Environment

Ojoto lies between Longitude 6º55” and Longitude 6º56” East of Greenwich Meridian and between Latitude 6º2” and 6º5” north of the Equator. It occupies a land area of about 32 sqaure kilometers and has a population density of about 500 people per square kilometer. According to the National Population Census of 2006, Ojoto recorded a population of 34,000 people. Ojoto is bounded in the north by Ojoto, Uke, and Ideani, in the south by Ichi and Oba, and in the west by Nnobi and Nnewi.

31

Ojoto is one of the towns that make up Idemili South Local Government Area of Anambra State, Nigeria. It serves as the administrative headquarters of Idemili South Local Government Area.

ClimateThe climate of Ojoto town is characteristically of the Equatorial type (i.e warm and humid), found in southeastern Nigeria. vcThis is a resultant effect of its prevailing seasonal wind, nearness to the seacoast and the relatively flat topography of the environment. A humid Tropical Maritime (mT) from across the Atlantic Ocean in the south dominates the region in the longer wet season (April to October). A drier Tropical Continental (cT) air mass blowing from the northeast direction controls the climate and meteorology of the area during the dry season (November to March). Around December, it culminates into a very hungry (i.e. dry) and foggy Harmattan wind as it blows right from across the continental region of the West African sub-region.

TemperatureAir temperature has seasonal and diurnal variations. On the average, the ambient maximum air temperature in the area varies from 28.00C to 37.50C while the minimum temperature varies from about 220C to 270C. Lowest values are recorded in the month of July through August. This coincides with the peak of the rainy season. The diurnal range is kept at a low 40C. The temperature of the area is influenced primarily by the apparent movement of the sun, wind direction and speed as well as land configuration (NIMET). Plate 2.3 below shows the Ambient Temperature of the Project Area.

RainfallThe climate is tropical with two (2) distinct seasons, the rainy season and the dry season. The rainy season begins around May and continues into September while the dry season runs from November to April. Rainfall reaches its highest monthly maximum of 300mm – 400mm during the month of June through September and drops to 0.0mm - 1.0mm in December and January (Plate 2.4). During the rainy season, a marked interruption in the rains occurs during August, resulting in a short dry season often referred to as the “August break”, though for years now this has not been consistent in August due to climate change.

The dry season is characterized by the cold dry “Harmattan” from the Sahara Desert. During this period, which begins in November and runs through January, a dry and dust-laden wind blows from the Sahara Desert. This sometimes makes the hills obscure due to the poor visibility. The sun is also obscured during this period by the prevailing dust haze.

Relative humidity

32

Plate 2Wind direction rose map of the project area

Relative humidity is high both day and night. It is greater than 85% at night, above 81% in the mornings and between 60% and 75% in the evenings. Generally, the drier months (December to February) have lower values (Plate 2.5).

Wind Speed and DirectionWind speed is generally low and usually less than 3 m/s under calm conditions most of the year. Relatively, higher wind speeds may occur mainly in the afternoons inducing convective activities and creating diffusion characteristics. Incidences of these are often associated with thunder and lightning especially during changing seasons. Atmospheric disturbances such as line squalls and disturbance lines often induce the variability that results in speeds higher than 5 m/s. Such increases characterize the beginning of rainy season (March-April) and end of heavy rains (September-October), during which storms are more frequent (Plate 2). The Harmattan season (December - February) can give rise to occasional high wind speed regimes.

Wind directions are quite variable over the region. Data shows that about 60% of the winds are south-westerly during the day in the wet season (NIMET). Southerlies, south easterlies and south westerlies prevail more in the night during this period. This implies that directions are usually more variable in the nights than in the mornings.

The winds are mostly northerly, north-easterly and north-westerly in the dry season particularly in the mornings. There are more of southerlies, south easterlies and/or westerlies during the evenings, indicating the fairly strong influences of the adjoining maritime oceanic air masses, contrasting land and sea breezes as well as appreciable degree of differential heating of the two surfaces.

2.3.2 Biological Environment

FloraThe vegetation types encountered within the Study Area are as follows:

Areas of fallow bush of varying ages Fields used for rotational subsistence farming Degraded secondary rainforest as well as statutory and communal forests

All flora habitats surveyed were found to comprise shrubs, grasses, sedges and a mixture of mature trees and re-growing juvenile trees. Table 1Some common Plants found within the project community

Plate 3 Gender Distribution of Respondents

Some wildlife found in the project area includes grass cutters, monitor lizard, etc. It is believed from consultations that the wildlife in the area has been decimated by the hunting activities. Other livestock encountered include goat, sheep among others were some of the livestock sited within the project area.

2.4 Socio-Economic Baseline Conditions of Project Affected Persons (PAPs)The socio-economic assessment studies were aimed at examining the socioeconomic conditions of the PAPs. This will be relevant for measuring and monitoring the progress of this RAP implementation.

2.4.1 Gender Distribution of Respondents

It was gathered from the field survey that majority of the Respondents (about 63%) are males while females are 37% as depicted in plate 3 below. Secondary data of population within the local government shows a different picture. This may be attributed to the willingness of the respondents to fill the questionnaires. Most of the women were eager to attend to family/house chores than to respond to the questionnaires presented. Also the women are found mainly at the market square or their shops which are located outside the sample zone.

35

Plate 4 Age Distribution of Respondents

Plate 5 Marital Status of Respondents

2.4.2 Age Distribution of RespondentsAs shown in Plate 4below, respondents range from 20 to above 61 years. The chart shows that those between ages 51-60 years and those above 61 years constitute the dominant population of Respondents with a combined proportion of about 63%. The least age group among Respondents belongs to those from 21-30yearswith a population of 5.4%. The highest population of Respondents (35.1%) were above 60years.This is believe to be due to the community being a rural area and most of the youths are out in the town to source for greener pastures.

2.4.3 Marital status of Respondents

Respondents are predominantly married people (about 94%) as depicted in plate 5 below. Singles are the other marital status that featured among the Respondents. The significance of this result is that Respondents are majorly men and women who are the breadwinners and help mates in their respective households. Widows/Widowers were not recorded as part of the respondents. However, this does not indicate that there are no widows/widowers in the community as observed during inventory of PAPs.

36

Plate 6 Religion of Respondents

Plate 7 Academic qualification of Respondents

2.4.4 Religious practice of RespondentsMajority of the respondents are Christians. No Muslim was among the Respondents. The only none Christian that responded to the questionnaires practice African Traditional Religion. It goes to show that cultural heritage is an integral part of some of the Respondents even though Christianity is practiced in the community.

2.4.5 Literacy Level and Educational InfrastructureMost people or Respondents have some form of education (91%). The highest number of Respondents (52%) indicated that their highest level of academic qualification is FSLC. About 8% of the Respondents don’t have any form of formal education. This shows that majority of Respondents have the minimum level of education that might help them in making informed decision, or participate meaningfully during discussions as it affects the project implementation.

37

Plate 8 Water source for Domestic use

Plate 9 Type of Toilet Facility

2.4.6 Water and Sanitation

61% of respondents get domestic water from commercial boreholes while about 20% make use of water from commercial boreholes (Plate 8 below). About 17% of respondents use water from other sources which include a combination of water vendors (9%), River (2%) Other sources (6%). A small amount of respondents use water from water collected in very few occasions.

It was also deduced from the field work that about 48% of the respondents use Pit latrines while 40% make use of water closet as seen in the plate below. A little over 10% of the respondents defecate in the bush and this was evident during the field trip as faeces were seen littered in different sections of farm lands and bush.

38

Plate 11 Refuse Disposal MethodPlate 10 Source of Cooking fuel

Plate 12 Primary and Secondary sources of Power

2.4.7 Household Waste Disposal, Cooking Fuel and Electricity

About 53% of the people in the area dispose their household waste by burning. A little above 16% dispose their refuse by open dump which includes into the gully while about 23% dispose their refuse in nearby bush. About 80% of the respondents make use of firewood for cooking while 12% make use of Gas. The remaining fraction use either kerosene or Charcoal as shown in plate below. The survey also showed that electricity is obtained from the national grid within the project communities. However, their services are epileptic. As an alternative source of electricity, the people mostly use hurricane lamps (60%) and Generators (12%).

39

Plate 13 Family Size of Respondents

Plate 14 Occupation of Respondents

2.4.8 Average household size of RespondentsThe survey shows that most of the Respondents (over 45%%) run large sized households (Plate 13 below). 42% of the Respondents have Medium sized households while about 11% have families of 1-2 members. This goes to show that the level of dependent on the Head of Household will be much and there will be a heavy burden on the family if involuntary displacement occurs.

2.4.9 Occupation

Plate 14 below shows that majority (90%) of the Respondents in this community are self-employed with 22% engaged in trading, while 35% of the respondents engage in farming as their major occupation. About 12% of the respondents are unemployed which include students while 5% of the Respondents are public servants and the remaining (1%) are artisans and engage in such businesses as carpentry, mason, mechanic etc.

40

Plate 15 Monthly income of Respondents

2.4.10Average Income status of Respondents

Field survey (Plate 15) shows that dominant income groups amongst Respondents fall within₦31,000 and above per Month. The survey also shows that just about 2% fall within the income of ₦0- ₦5000 per month while about 21% of Respondents earn ₦21,000 to ₦30,000 per month. In General, about 86% fall above the minimum wage income level.

Average income of Respondents in the project area were measured at two levels; the overall average which indicates an aggregation of middle and low level income earning Respondents and the low income groups with lowest limit of N400 per day. The outcome is that on the overall aggregation, Respondents mean income is ₦3,000 or $8 per day (for middle and low income combined) and ₦1200 or $3 per day for lower income group using an exchange rate of ₦400/1$.Based on the above, Respondents in the project area earn on the average, about $1,240 per annum. This Plate puts Respondents in the class of middle-income economy group according to World Bank development indicators (World Bank, 2016). Lower-middle-income and upper-middle-income economies are separated at a GNI per capita of $4,125.

These results imply that impacts on the sources of livelihood of the respondents may have adverse impacts on their income sustenance and standard of living,

41

especially with most of them being self-employed as well as low rate of saving culture in the less developed countries.

2.4.11Infrastructural DevelopmentThe Community have both public and private institutions. These include primary and secondary schools. There is no Tertiary institution in Ojoto. About 56.8% believe that these institutions are in good conditions while 8.1% are of the opinion that they are poor. 27% believe that they are fair and 8.1% perceive them as being very good respectively as shown in the tables below.Most of the roads leading to Ojoto are tarred through the state government effort. However, the road within the communities are earth road. These in some sections have been washed off by flood. The erosion has also cut off adjoining road to parts of thecommunity. There is GSM telecommunication facilities of various networks available in the area and have considerably good connection.Table 2 Roads to Community

2.4.12Desirability of the Project

All the respondents showed high level of acceptance of the project stating that the gully erosion site poses high risk for the members of the community. They also indicated that the gully has denied them several social amenities and access into neighbouring Villages.

2.4.13Health Status SurveyFor the purpose of this RAP, a Rapid appraisal was adopted as the health impact is envisaged to be minimal. A Rapid Health Impact Assessment checklist designed in consideration of the environmental and social determinants of health as it affects the sub-project was used for the assessment.

Consultations and field survey revealed that all wards in the LGAs within the project area have at least a PHF. This was confirmed from the Federal Ministry of Health Directory of Health Facilities (2011). However these PHFs were observed to be under staffed. The PHC have mainly community health workers and midwives and lack medical doctors.

Services provided at the PHC in the project community include but are not limited to child health and antenatal services, vaccination, anti-malarial treatment, antibacterial intervention services, etc. More serious ailments are referred to the General hospital at neighbouring towns or the Nnamdi Azikiwe University Teaching Hospital. The Table below shows responses received from households on awareness and use of healthcare facilities.

The Table above shows that All of the households are aware of the availability of HCFs in their community, although adequate staffing, availability of drugs and cost may be a challenge to many. However, some members of the communities still combine orthodox means (e.g. herbs) for treatment.

Malaria and Typhoid are prevalent in the area. This may be as a result of the presence of breeding sites for the vector within the project area. Other conditions reported include Rheumatism and eye problems which are common condition found among the older members of the community.

2.4.14Replacement OptionsMost project affected persons interviewed preferred cash assistance as replacements options. While some of the PAPs prefer not to be compensated, rather that the work should commence in earnest some still would like Land for Land replacement or House for House replacement as the case may be if their assets are affected.

3.3.2 Forestry ActThis Act of 1958 provides for the preservation of forests and the setting up of forest reserves. It is an offence, punishable with up to 6 months imprisonment, to cut

48

down trees over 2ft in girth or to set fire to the forest except under special circumstances. Nigeria is at present a wood deficit nation. In order to ameliorate the situation, the policy on forest resources management and sustainable use is aimed at achieving self-sufficiency in all aspects of forest production through the use of sound forest management techniques as well as the mobilization of human and material resources. The overall objectives of forest policy are to prevent further deforestation and to recreate forest cover, either for productive or for protective purposes, on already deforested fragile land.

Specifically, the National Agricultural Policy of 1988 in which the Forestry Policy is subsumed, provides for:

Consolidation and expansion of the forest estate in Nigeria and its management for sustained yield.

Regeneration of the forests at rates higher than exploitation. Conservation and protection of the environment viz: forest, soil, water, flora,

fauna and the protection of the forest resources from fires, cattle grazers and illegal encroachment.

Development of Forestry industry through the harvesting and utilization of timber, its derivatives and the reduction of wastes.

Wildlife conservation, management and development through the creation and effective management of national parks, game reserves, tourist and recreational facilities, etc.

6 Owners of “Permanent” buildings

Cash Compensation is based on market value.

Entitled to in-kind compensation or cash compensation at full replacement cost including labor and relocation expenses, prior to displacement.

7 Grievance Management

Project affected person will be required to make a plea at the High court.

The World Bank employs affordable and accessible procedures for third-party settlement of disputes arising from resettlement; such grievance mechanisms should take into account the availability of judicial recourse and community and traditional dispute settlement mechanisms.

8 Loss of Livelihood No Livelihood Restoration Mechanism

World Bank identify measures to assist affected persons in their efforts to improve their livelihoods or restore them, in real terms, to pre-displacement levels, while maintaining the sustainability of the protected area.

9 Rejection of Compensation

Arbitration procedure may be evoked

A good grievance mechanism should be simple to understand, but not simplistic in its dealings with people and issues. When there is a rejection of compensation the choice and execution approach should be revised and carried out.

This RAP willbe aligned withtheWorld BankOperationalPoliciesincludingInvoluntary ResettlementPolicywhichindicate bestpracticesfor rehabilitationoflivelihoodsofpeople affectedbytheimplementationof theproject. This

4 CHAPTER FOUR: IDENTIFICATION OF PROJECT IMPACTS AND PROJECT AFFECTED PERSONS

Chapter 1 of this report provides the methodology employed for impacts and PAPs identification, which included census/inventory survey and consultation with the PAPs. Consultation with the project community and PAPs started during the preliminary visit in February 2017.

The inventory taken showed that land acquisition will occuras a result of the project.This involves the 10m setback along the gully corridor which will be reserved for planting of economic trees that will help control erosion as well as provide some source of livelihood for the community. A section used for traditional worship (Akwuo Shrine) will be impacted which falls within the 10 meter setback within the corridor of the gully. Also a burial site ofJoseph Austin Jekwu’s late father will also be impacted.

Crops planted on farmlands and associated economic trees were also observed as important features that would be affected in the event of the proposed work along the corridor of the gullies. Furthermore, it was also observed that structures and fences along the corridor of the gully are other categories of impacts by the proposed work.

4.1 Impact Reduction Measures UndertakenThe following are technical steps taken by the Anambra State NEWMAP PMU which have resulted in the reduction of adverse impacts of the project:

The engineering design for the intervention by backfilling as well as geotextile was employed in some areas.

The setback for access and buffer on the corridor was made known to the stakeholders to be 10 meters and that in the event of work in such locations all affected properties are to be removed by their owners to give the required right of way for the work.

Consulting/communicating with the people of the project area and PAPs in particular on the day and time to expect civil work activities within their respective location. This will give the PAPs opportunity to harvest mature crops before the beginning of civil works.

In spite of the outlined impact reduction measures above, mitigation measures have also been clearly prepared in this document, which is in line with the World Bank policy (OP 4.12) on involuntary resettlement to ensure that those who must suffer economic impact are restored to the pre-project state.It is important to state at this point that the SPMU is not responsible for any property destroyed by the contractor outside the scope of the approved design. Should such occur, it occurs at the cost of the contractor. The contractor should be informed of the agreed setback prior to commencement of intervention work on site

4.2 Land acquisition along the corridorAs already established above, land acquisition will occur as a result of the project. Space may be required in the set back that will serve as camp, where equipment and materials will be stored and used. This will be minimal and restricted to the 10m set back from the edges of the gully. Also entry points which falls within the 10m have been provided in the design to allow access to work areas. This was discussed with the community and owners provided suitable locations for these.Although there are some assets within these setbacks which are mostly farm crops and economic trees, as well as parts of structures such as fences and buildings the proposed rehabilitation will be managed to avoid or at least reduce interference with any of the structures such as concrete fence or buildings where applicable.

4.3 Positive Impacts of the projectThe OjotoGully Erosion Rehabilitation project will have a lot of beneficial impacts on the community. This include but not limited to termination/control of the gully erosions, reduced loss of infrastructure (e.g. houses), reduced loss of agricultural land and productivity from soil loss caused by surface erosion, provision of good drainage, improved sanitation. The project will also progressively restore vegetative

54

cover, improve environmental conditions and more humid local microclimates resulting in increased vegetation cover for wildlife and carbon appropriation thereby improving the environment through land stabilization measures which preserve the landscape and biodiversity.In spite of these significant positive impacts, there are concerns for negative socio-economic impacts to the PAPs and communities because project activities will cause loss of assets, loss of income, physical displacement, restriction to access to source of livelihood, involuntary displacement/relocation and impact on cultural heritage.

4.4 Negative Impact of the ProjectAssets shall be displaced by the proposed intervention work. Depending on the amount of land space needed for the work at the given locations along the corridor between 5-10m, the potential assets that could be affected have been identified and an inventory of the assets as well as the PAPs taken and are summarized.

4.5 Discussion of project ImpactsThe affected assets include economic trees and farmlands, essentially. However some structures may also be affected in the cause of the civil works. These have been identified as shown below;

Loss of Land: There will be Loss of land as a result of the project. This affects a total of eighty-seven (87)) PAPs. One of the land (Owned by an individual) was housing a shrine and its accessory structures as well as cash crops belonging to the same owner. The second is a family burial site located along the buffer zone near the Main Gully. The rest are Land owners within the 10m set back along the gully corridor.

Loss of Buildings or Structure: Due to rapid activity of the gullies, some area of land has been taken by the erosion thereby encroaching into structures, extension of fences and pavements on the gully corridor. There may be significant adverse economic impacts on PAPs in such conditions. This group of persons might lose part of their structures and possibly income earned from them. About 11 (PAPs) were identified in this category. This comprise of Individual and Family owned structures.

Loss of other Means of Livelihood (Shops/Kiosks): It was observed that none of the PAPs own shops/Kiosks within the project corridor. However, some of the PAPs whose source of livelihood is farming will be impacted. This category of PAPs will be allowed to harvest their mature crops from their farmlandsbefore the civil works commence. However, in a situation whereby these crops will be affected, cash compensation have been capture for the category.

Loss of Economic Trees: The gully erosion cuts across the major farm lands and fallow areas of the project communities. Farming activities have been suspended in

55

some of these areas due to the emergence of the erosion. Palm trees are the dominant trees in this area with most of them within the 10 meters setback on both sides of the gully edge. Other trees include bread fruit, oil bean, oha tree, nturukpa tree, soft wood, kola nut, Udara, Avocado pear, local pear, Bamboo, bush mango (ugiri), etc. Types and quantity of these economic trees as well as the owners are outlined in the appendix.

Loss of Agricultural Resources (Crops): The major crop affected within the area is mainly Cassava. Other crops identified include cocoa-yam,yam, spinach, pumpkin etc.

Impact on Utilities: There are no major public utilities identified within the setback along the Gully corridor that could be affected in the course of work or that will constitute hindrance to project activities.

Loss of access to common (community) property:The project transvers through individual, family and community owned land. Impacts on Community owned assets are however minimal. These are mainly cash crops and economic trees. Also crops whose owners were not identified or claimed were allocated to the community for safe keep and will transfer such compensation to the owners when identified. This was agreed with the community and the town union executives.

Loss of Cultural Property:1 shrine (Place of worship) was identified along the corridor of the gully Akwuo Shrine (care of Patrick Obieze) which the priests/handler owned up to. It is worthy of note, at this point, that the World Bank OP 4.11 is triggered. This may be impacted and compensation was discussed and analysed with the PAPs.

The OP 4.11 provides for physical cultural resources management plan that measures to avoid or mitigate any adverse impacts on physical cultural resources management of chance finds, any necessary measures for strengthening institutional capacity for the management of physical cultural resources a monitoring system to track the progress of these activities. This will be addressed by the RAP prepared for this project. Continuous consultation with traditional authorities and local communities will be employed as part of mitigation.

Impact on Vulnerable Group: People who by their disadvantage conditions will be economically worse impacted by project activities than others such as female headed households, persons with disability, persons with HIV-AIDS and elderly household heads of above 60 years with dependents were considered vulnerable. Also members of the community who were identified as having lost a major source of livelihood as a result of the erosion were also considered in this group. Those within this group and may be impacted are Seventy two (72) which included widows, elderly poor persons (above 60) with dependents as well.

56

Potential Relocation Areas: Four (4) buildings were identified to be directly affected during the implementation of this project based on the established setback and design suggestions. One of the buildings is a family property while the rest are individual owned. Those within this group requested for cash assistance as compensation.

4.6 Inventory of affected assets/structures in the project areaAbout 131Assets/structures will be negatively impacted due to the sub-project activities. Some of the PAPs have one or more of their assets/structures affected. These include fences, buildings, and agricultural products. (See Annex 3 for Complete Inventory and Census Registration of PAPs)

4.7 Census of Project Affected Persons (PAPs)Census of PAPs was carried out based on the methodology described in Chapter 1. The outcome shows that 131persons/families will be potentially impacted/suffer socio-economic losses as a result of sub-project activities. The census register for the RAP describes the names of PAPs, means of identification/contact and affected items. (Annex 3).

4.8 Analysis of Impacts and Income Restoration Measures for Vulnerable Group/PAPs

Seventy-Two (72) vulnerable persons were identified and enumerated during the RAP census and is made up of widows (13 Nos), the elderly poor persons (above 60) with dependents (25 Nos), one disabled person as well as large families with high level dependency. There was no identified vulnerable PAP in the category of HIV-AIDS persons and child headed households. No mentally disabled persons were identified as part of the PAPs.

The objective of income restoration measures for the vulnerable persons is to ensure that they are reasonably assisted to overcome potential economic shock from the project, and maintain the quality of life not less than their pre-project state because; they are at higher risk than others based on their vulnerability disadvantage. The kind/cash assistance for vulnerable group and PAPs in general shall be administered by the proponent through the resettlement committee or through NGOs in consultation with the PAPs. To ensure that income restoration measures are effective all the articulated resettlement measures will be carried out prior to the project implementation.

The income restoration plan (skill acquisition, assistance) to vulnerable groups shall be funded through the amount to be set aside for administration within the livelihood restoration budget. This fund will be set aside by the SMEnv through its counterpart responsibility to project’s due diligence and shall preferably be

57

operated/administered by the resettlement committee to be appointed and supervised by the SPMU during RAP implementation.

The total amount of N60,000 each was provided for the vulnerable persons who were presumed to suffer major loss of income as a result of the project. This amount was reached at based on the average turnover/income of PAPs in the project area, and the consideration that an average PAP household spends about N3000 on consumption per day. The estimated amount will provide subsistence for 20 days within which economic shocks occasioned by displacement and/or adjustment would take. A total of

4.9 Performance Indicator for Assessing Income RestorationPerformance indicators and monitoring are important in evaluating the progress and effectiveness of the resettlement plan as well as the income restoration measures. It is the responsibility of the monitoring and evaluation officer and/or the Safeguard Officer at the PMU to design a schedule and budget for monitoring the implementation of the RAP which will begin before project implementation and continue through the life cycle of the project. The monitoring indicators, which provide the basics for requirement of RAP income restoration progress is discussed in details in Chapter eleven and in annex 1.Positive results or improvement over the baseline conditions will be indicative of track record consistent with the objective of resettlement plan while performances below the baseline conditions indicate failure of the resettlement plan from meeting the desired objectives. In this case, the safeguard officer/monitoring officer is expected to report to the SPMU early and offer ways for improvement/modification of the restoration measures.For successful implementation of the resettlement plan, PAPs must be given prior orientation, perhaps during the training and enlightenment workshop and must be informed that there will be periodic monitoring of their activities.

4.10 The Valuation methodologyValuation of assets to be affected by the implementation of the project was conducted using a general principle adopted in the formulation of the compensation valuation, which follows the World Bank policy that lost income and asset will be valued at their full replacement cost such that the PAPs should experience no net loss.The asset valuation was conducted based on the current market prices in the project area. For some materials, prices vary on the basis of quality, taste and product brand. Therefore, in such cases the average market price plus 2% price flexibility adjustment was used for the valuation. Below is the outcome of the market survey carried out in February 2017 in Ojoto, Idemili South LGA, Anambra State Nigeria.

Nigeria's consumer prices increased 17.26 percent year-on-year in March of 2017, easing from a 17.78 percent rise in the previous month. The inflation rate slowed for the second straight month, led by food and non-food prices, namely housing and utilities, clothing and footwear and transport. Annual core inflation rate was 15.44 percent, the lowest since April last year. On a monthly basis, consumer prices increased 1.72 percent. Inflation Rate in Nigeria averaged 12.36 percent from 1996 until 2017, reaching an all-time high of 47.56 percent in January of 1996 and a record low of -2.49 percent in January of 2000 (Plate 18).Based on prevailing macroeconomic variables in Nigeria which is demonstrated by an unstable exchange rate between N300 and N400 to the Dollar in the last 6 months and the inflation situation described above, it can be predicted that the exchange rate used in this valuation and the 5% inflation correction item (pegging inflation at not more than 18%) assumption will be realistic over the next 12 to 15 months considering the government’s effort in stabilizing the economy.

The method of valuations has been communicated to and dialogued with the PAPs during consultations as presented in the section below.

4.10.1Valuation Method for Land PropertyIn line with OP4.12 of the World Bank on involuntary resettlement as stated in the entitlement matrix, land for land entitlement is prescribed. In so doing, it is also important to take into cognizance the size of the land and location since these two variables are determinants of value of land property. The land to be acquired for this project are just within the 10m set back along the gully corridor. The location of the land to a large extent has come to reduce the value of land at this spot drastically. The cost for Land within the 10m setback along the gully corridor was determined by considering the replacement cost of land within the project area while considering proximity to the erosion and level of damage caused by the Erosion. This was placed at N300,000/Plot of Land.

4.10.2Replacement Cost Method for Assets/StructuresThe Traditional Replacement Cost Method, was used in estimating the value of the property/structure and is based on the assumption that the capital value of an existing development can be equated to the cost of reinstating the development on the same plot at the current labour, material and other incidental costs. The estimated value represents the cost of the property as if new.The Damage Loss Assessment Method is used in this study to determine compensation for economic trees and agricultural products. This method states that market value of yield per tree for the current season (agricultural season) and cost of re-planting and nursery should be used to determine the compensation rate for the economic tree.

60

4.10.3Disturbance and Other Incidental ContingenciesAffected business premises which will have to close shop or be relocated will be given compensation for loss of business time/income and cash or in kind assistance to enable the relocation of affected property. No PAP was identified within this category.PAPs will be allowed to dismantle their structures and reuse them at relocated locations. In addition, SPMU will provide supplementary assistance to affected PAPs. Rates of cost of labour and transportation allowances have also been built in where applicable. The current rates in the market have been used.

4.10.4PAPs Losing Permanent Structures-for Residential (immoveable structures)Structures and other assets including fences, walls and pavements on project corridor are categorized as immoveable/permanent structures. Contractors are advised to try and avoid demolition if possible. Where demolition of these structures cannot be avoided, census of PAPs has been taken for resettlement/compensation.PAPs under this category will be resettled or compensated for the value of the structure to be displaced based on the prevailing market value of the structure in Ojoto. PAPs will be allowed to dismantle their structures and reuse them at relocated locations. In addition, SPMU will provide supplementary assistance to affected PAPs. Rates of cost of labour and transportation allowances have also been built in where applicable. The current rates in the market have been used.Demolition/clearing of structures to secure the project setback will take place at least two (2) weeks to the period of implementation after PAPs would have been compensated.

4.10.5PAPs Losing Permanent Structures-for Business (immoveable structures)PAPs covered in this category will be resettled or compensated for the value of the structure to be displaced based on the prevailing market value of the structure in Ojoto. In addition, PAPs will be compensated for loss of livelihood income due to loss of business income. No PAP was identified in this category. For PAPs relocating to alternative sites, they shall be provided with in kind/cash assistance. Demolition/clearing of structures to secure the project setback will take place at least two (2) weeks to the period of implementation after PAPs would have been compensated.

4.10.6PAPs Losing Shrines or Place of WorshipPAPs covered in this category will be resettled or compensated for the value of the structure to be displaced based on the prevailing market value of the structure in Ojoto. In addition, PAPs will be compensated for loss of livelihood income due to loss of business income. For PAPs relocating to alternative sites, they shall be provided with in kind/cash assistance. One (1) PAP was identified in this category and this will lead to temporary loss of livelihood which has been calculated and included on the PAPs compensation. Demolition/clearing of structures to secure the project setback will take place at least two (2) weeks to the period of implementation after PAPs would have been compensated.

61

4.10.7PAPs Losing Burial SitePAPs covered in this category will be resettled or compensated for the value of the structure to be displaced based on the prevailing market value of the structure in Ojoto. For PAPs relocating to alternative sites, they shall be provided with in kind/cash assistance. One (1) Burial Site belonging to Joseph Austin Jekwu’s Late Father was identified in this category. Relocation was discussed with PAP who elaborated on the cost implication of the activity. This has been documented and forms part of their compensation. Demolition/clearing of structures to secure the project corridor will take place at least two (2) weeks to the period of implementation after PAPs would have been compensated.

4.11 Proof of EligibilityThe resettlement committee will work with the list of PAPs as well as catalogue containing PAPs information (Name, Phone number etc) as a means of identifying eligible PAPs for entitlements. In case of lose or error in catalogue identification, other forms of evidence as proof of eligibility will also be acceptable but limited to one or more of the following:

• Identification based on phone number and name and passport photograph supplied during the census stage.

• PAPs with no phone numbers shall be identified by their Township or community leader so long as the name being used for claim is one recognized in the census register and the catalogue containing the PAP Identity Card.

4.12 Duration for Civil WorksEstimation of the duration for civil works/rehabilitation completion is eight (8) months. PAPs will not be disrupted in anyway by the project until resettlement program is implemented.

4.13 Cut-Off DateThe cut-off date for being eligible for compensation and/ or resettlement assistance is February 27th 2017 which is the day the final field consultation with the PAPs was conducted. PAPs and project community were duly informed about the significance of the cut-off date in the implementation of this RAP through the Local authorities.

4.14 Entitlement Matrix for the PAPsThe matrix shows specific and applicable categories of PAPs under this project and types of losses as well as entitlement plan for PAPs. The Entitlement matrix therefore, is the basis for compensation budget, resettlement and income restoration measures to be administered by the proponent. The subsequent section further provides explanation of the entitlement matrix under eligibility criteria for entitlements.

4.15 Description of Eligibility Criteria for Defining Various Categories of PAPsBased on the World Bank’s OP4.12, the following three criteria are recognized:

a) Those who have formal rights to land (including customary, traditional and religious rights recognized under the Federal and/or State Laws of Nigeria).

b) Those who do not have formal legal rights to land at the time of the census begins but have a claim to such land or assets provided that such claims are recognized through a process identified in this resettlement plan

c) Those who have no recognizable legal right or claim to the land they are occupying, using or getting their livelihood.

Those covered under (a) and (b) above according to the guiding policy are to be provided compensation for the land they lose, and other assistances in accordance with the policy. PAPs covered under (c) above are to be provided resettlement assistance in lieu of compensation for the land they occupy and other assistance, as necessary to achieve the objective of them not being economically worse off because of the development.Under The World Bank Policy, cash compensation is only appropriate when there is an active market in land or housing and where such assets are actually available for purchase. Communal rights to land and other assets are recognized. Clans, lineages and other community property have been subjected to the same procedures as for privately held land. In such case, the traditional law of the affected community may be taken into account.Although all PAPs irrespective of their legal rights or not, squatters or otherwise encroaching on land are eligible for some kind of assistance under the policies of the WB, such PAPs must be those captured in the census. In other words, persons that encroach on land/ROW after the cut-off date will not be entitled to any form of assistance or compensation.

5 CHAPTER FIVE: GRIEVANCE REDRESS MECHANISMS

66

5.1 IntroductionThe likelihood of dispute is much reduced because the few affected persons due to the erosion control project have been greatly consulted.Nevertheless, in the event that grievances arise this redress mechanism has been prepared. Already, the affected persons have been helped to appreciate that there are provisions for addressing any complaints or grievances. The grievance procedure will further be made available to the affected person through project implementation.The major grievances that might require mitigation include:

PAPs not listed; Losses not identified correctly; Inadequate assistance; Dispute about ownership; Delay in disbursement of assistance and improper distribution of

assistance.

5.2 Grievances and Appeals ProcedureThis grievance procedure is prepared in line with the provision of the RPF of NEWMAP. The need to provide a forum locally to receive, hear and resolve disputes is in the best interest of all parties to forestall the lengthy process of litigation, which could affect the progress of project. Therefore, the setting of Grievance Redress Committee early during RAP implementation is desirable.

5.3 Grievance Redress ProcessThere is no ideal model or one-size-fits-all approach to grievance resolution. The best solutions to conflicts are generally achieved through localized mechanisms that take account of the specific issues, cultural context, local customs, and project conditions and scale.In its simplest form, grievance mechanisms can be broken down into the following primary components:

• Receiving and registering a complaint.• Screening and assessing the complaint.• Formulating a response.• Selecting a resolution approach.• Implementing the approach.• Announcing the result.• Tracking and evaluating the results.• Learning from the experience and communicate back to all parties

involved.• Preparing a timely report to management on the nature and resolution of

grievances.

67

5.3.1 Procedure for Effective Local Resolution of GrievanceThe following steps and procedures will apply in this project to ensure that grievances are settled within PMU and /or at the level of the Grievance Redress Committee as much as possible:

An accessible and affordable complaints mechanism will be in place as soon as RAP report is disclosed, and will enable people with claims against the process to make their complaints

At the first stage, PAPs will register their complaints and grievances to the GRC. The GRC upon receiving the complaint should write to acknowledge the receipt within one week.

If the PAP is not satisfied with the decision of the GRC, the PAP should present the case to the SPMU Social and Livelihood Safeguards Officer.

The GRC will then register the PAPs complaints and grievances to the Social and Livelihood Safeguard Officer in SPMU (contact address to be provided to PAPs).The Safeguard Officer is required to in consultation with the Project Coordinator provide a written response to the PAP within fourteen (14) calendar days of receiving the complaint.

A record should be kept for hearing concerning the complaint, as well as of the reasons for filing the complaint

The matter so complained should be verified with the PIU Mediation efforts at the discretion of the SLO should be embarked upon

within three weeks of receiving the complaint Where a matter is not satisfactorily resolved at this level, the PAP should seek redress through the court of justice taking full responsibility for his/her decision/action.

5.3.2 Court Resolution of Grievance MattersThe possibility of seeking for grievance resolution in the court may be a last resort and should be expected, especially, where the complainant felt dissatisfied with resolution of the GRC. The provision of the RPF of NEWMAP on this matter is that grievances concerning non-fulfilment of contracts, levels of compensation, or seizure of assets without compensation shall be addressed to the state local courts system of administration of justice. The court hierarchy would in ascending order therefore, be land dispute tribunals/chiefs, followed by magistrate courts and then finally the high courts. The high court of the state is being designated as the highest appellate court to settle grievances.This, admittedly, is a costly and time-consuming procedure. Nevertheless, affected persons will be exempted from administrative and legal fees incurred pursuant to this grievance redress procedure.

68

5.4 Grievance Redress CommitteeThe project will establish a Grievance Redress Committee (GRC). The GRC will hear complaints and facilitate solutions; and the process, as a whole, will promote dispute settlement through mediation to reduce litigation. This committee will be coordinated by the SPMU and shall be made up of the following parties:

NGOs Community Development Councils (CDCs) Representative of the community Representatives of associations/interest groups and, PAPs representative

It is expected that an independent body such as NGO should head the Grievance Redress Committee (GRC) so as to give the committee credibility and trust of protecting the interest of PAPs. SMEnv, NEWMAP or its staff would not be heading the committee since it is a party to the anticipated grievance cases. The NGO to be chosen must have experience in dispute resolution and must have a lawyer in its team that will serve as the secretary of the body. The PMU will provide the GRC with the guideline based on the provisions of this ARAP and also make available to it contact details/register of PAPs which details their names, addresses and phone numbers for contacting them when necessary. PAPs shall also have the option of contacting the GRC directly or indirectly to register their grievance by themselves or through their local chief or leader There will be no fees or charges required of those wishing to have a grievance or complaint heard. The timeline for implementation of the grievance resolutions shall be at most 15 days from the last day allowable for grievance and complaints submission following the end of RAP disclosure. The functions of the Grievance Redress Committee include:

Provide support to PAPs on problems arising from loss of private properties and business area.

Record the grievance of the PAPs, categorize and prioritize the grievances that need to be resolved by the committee; and

Report to the aggrieved parties about the developments regarding their grievances and the decision of the project authorities

The committee will suggest corrective measures at the field level itself and fix responsibilities for implementation of its decisions. In terms of implementation, all efforts will be made to first resolve the issue faced by PAPs at the field level. The grievance procedure should be simple, administered as far as possible at the local and state levels to facilitate access, flexible and open to various proofs taking into consideration the fact that many people are illiterate requiring a speedy, just and fair resolution of their grievances. However, when matters could not be resolved at this level, there is need for the grieved to seek redress in the court

69

5.5 Expectation When Grievances AriseWhen local people present a grievance, they expect to be heard and taken seriously. Therefore, the SPMU and others such as the engineers involved in one aspect of the project or other must convince people that they can voice grievances and work to resolve them without retaliation.It should be understood that all or any of the following is or are expected from the project management/channel of grievance resolution by the local people:

• acknowledgement of their problem, • an honest response to questions/issues brought forward, • an apology, adequate compensation, • modification of the conduct that caused the grievance and some other fair

remedies

5.6 Management of Reported Grievancesa) The procedure for managing grievances should be as follows:b) The affected person file his/ her grievance, relating to any issue

associated with the resettlement process or compensation, in writing or phone to the project Resettlement and Compensation committee (Phone numbers will be provided by the SPMU).

5.7 Grievance Log and Response TimeThe process of grievance redress will start with registration of the grievance/s to be addressed, for reference purposes and to enable progress updates of the cases. Thus the person affected by the project will file a Grievance Form with the Grievance Redress Committee. The Form(See table 9) should contain a record of the person responsible for an individual complaint, and records dates for the date the complaint was reported; date the Grievance Log was uploaded onto the project database; date information on proposed corrective action sent to complainant (if appropriate), the date the complaint was closed out and the date response was sent to complainant.The Project Liaison officer working with the local Government Desk Officer in recording all grievances will ensure that each complaint has an individual reference number, and is appropriately tracked and recorded actions are completed. The response time will depend on the issue to be addressed but it should be addressed with efficiency. The Grievance committee will act on it within 10 working days of receipt of grievances. If no amicable solution is reached, or the affected person does not receive a response within 15 working days, the affected person can appeal to a designated office in the SPMU, which should act on the grievance within 15 working days of its filing.

6 CHAPTER SIX: STAKEHOLDERS CONSULTATION

6.1 Introduction

The stakeholder engagement and consultation process adopted in this consultancy was keen towards identifying and working with the Project Affected Persons (PAPs), project affected communities and other stakeholders who may be directly or indirectly affected during the rehabilitation works for the Ojoto Gully Erosion Site. These include:

73

Individuals or group of persons living in close proximity to the project area Individuals or group of persons who may have cumulative impacts during

development Individuals or group of persons who may be temporarily relocated as a result

of the project Individuals or group of persons who occasionally utilize the land on which the

project is located Traditional and Administrative classes involved in developmental activities or

policy changes in the project areaThe consultation process with the people of Ojoto was necessary in order to encourage active and sustained participation of the community members, particularly the Ezioke, Ojor, Enugo, Ndeabo, Umuchem, Umuezema, and Ezema villages through which the erosion menace traverses. The consultation promoted community ownership of the project and in addition enhanced sustainability. Involved in the consultation process were the administration of pre-defined socio-economic questionnaires at the household level for the PAPs particularly residents living along the gully corridor.

Stakeholder involvement in the project is expected to continue in a manner that gives the communities and the project affected persons (PAPs) the opportunity to make contributions aimed at strengthening the development project while avoiding negative impacts as well as reducing possible conflicts. In addition, the consultations will remain active (i.e on-going exercise) throughout the duration of the entire project. Issues relating to project displacements and compensations to PAPs and any vulnerable groups will be handled efficiently in the RAP report to minimize chances of possible conflicts

6.2 Identification of Stakeholders

Generally, five (5) broad categories of stakeholders were identified for this project based on the degree to which the project activities may affect or involve such persons or group of persons. These stakeholders are grouped as shown in Table 10. The identification followed the following considerations:

Any persons or parties whose line of duties whether officially, socially, economically or culturally has direct or indirect bearing on any aspects of project activities. These parties may include individuals, groups, institutions or organizations that may be affected by the gully rehabilitation activities; and,

Any persons or parties whose specific interests in the project results from: (a) the project's benefit(s) to such persons; (b) potential changes that may occur to the routine activities of the persons due to the project; and, (c) the project activities that may cause damage or conflict for the persons. The identified persons or group of persons in this category will ultimately represent the project Affected Persons (PAPs) or Households (PAHs).

7 CHAPTER SEVEN: BUDGET AND FINANCING PLAN

7.1 IntroductionA detailed inventory of all affected assets provides the basis for estimating the compensation and assistance costs. This Section provides information on the estimated budget for the overall implementation of this RAP and source of funds.

7.2 Financing planSPMU is the source of this fund for the payment of the necessary compensations and mitigation measures and overall implementation of the RAP.Since the Anambra State Ministry of Environment (SMEnv) are the ones impacting livelihoods, it will be their responsibility to fund the RAP budget. It will be financed through the projects administrative and financial management rules and manuals like any other sub-activity of the project eligible for payment under this project. It is expected that implementation function will rest on the SPMU, but the budget will however be subject to the finalization of disclosure and clearance/approval by the World Bank before disbursement or implementation can commence.

80

The SMEnv isresponsible for funding the compensation entitlement. Final approval for payments by the Project Coordinator must be approved by the Chief Accounting Officer of the Ministry (Commissioner). Table 12Summary of RAP Budget

*TOTAL 94,664,454.60

The total budget for administering/implementing the RAP for Rehabilitation of Ojoto Gully Erosion project is Ninety-Four Million, Six Hundred and Sixty-Four Thousand, Four Hundred and Fifty-Four Naira Sixty Kobo(N94,664,454.60).This sum is expected to cover compensation of assets affected and additional mitigations for livelihood restoration measures, coordination of additional mitigations, and grievance redress. In addition, 10% of this total budget has been provided forOperation cost and contingencies such as inflation that shall be allowed and added to the current budget.

7.3 Procedure for Delivering of EntitlementsThe SPMU Social Safeguard Officer with support from the State Focal NGO (FONGO) shall be engaged for preparation and management of entitlement to the PAPs. The SPMU will be responsible for facilitating the RAP compensation process described below. The FONGO will work closely with the SPMU in handling this task.

81

7.4 RAP Compensation ProcessThe compensation process will involve several steps in accordance with this resettlement and compensation plan and shall include the following:

Public participation: Public participation with the PAPs which had been part of the process of this RAP would continue even at the RAP implementation phase. Using the entire identified medium, PAPs would be contacted, consulted and made to participate in enlightenment workshop in which alternatives for income restoration and compensation will be discussed and agreed. During this meeting, eligible PAPs without clearance certificate for entitlement will be issued with certificates. This assignment will be facilitated by the SPMUwho will oversee the RAP compensation

The SPMU shall identify and work closely with Township liaison, CDCs, etc. within the project area to ensure that PAPs are all contacted/consulted, and necessary dossiers are documented from PAPs

Type of choice (cash and/or replacement) made by PAPs shall be documented. This shall be done by issuing PAPs with an order form to be completed and signed by PAPs. PAPs who cannot read or write will be assisted to do so

Cheques shall be the form of payment of compensation to all PAPs. Non-Bank Account holders shall be assisted to open bank accounts. This is

important due to; Government of Nigeria is moving towards a cashless economy which

may pose difficult for PAPs receiving their entitlements. Operating a bank account will be a plausible option to manage PAPs

income restoration program Carrying cash to the house by PAPs poses a security treat to PAP and

may also lead to increase poverty scenario of PAPs Notification - Dates of various activities for the resettlement program will be

communicated to PAPs for inclusive participation.

7.5 Compensation Payment AdministrationThe resettlement budget details prepared in this RAP shall be the guide for the SPMU in the RAP payment. After the processes elaborated above has been exhausted, the SPMU SLO will prepare the payment documentation stating the Name of PAP, address, Phone number, Bank account details and amount entitled. The submission will be made to the Project Coordinator at The PMU. The Project Coordinator will verify the submission by the SPMU SLO using the RAP Budget document as a reference. If there are errors, omissions or ambiguities, the attention of the RAP Consultant will be drawn for reconciliation. When fully verified, the payment mandate/report shall be sent to the Commissioner for approval of fund and payment. The Commissioner/chief accounting officer shall approve the payment and minute to the Project Coordinator at the PMU who shall ensure that the payments are carried out by the accountant/finance officer to the various PAPs banks

82

7.6 Resettlement Implementation Linkage to Civil WorksBefore any project activity is implemented, PAPs will need to be compensated/resettled in accordance with the entitlement matrix/budget plan established in this RAP. Alternative structures and relocation sites where applicable should have been prepared and witnessed by State Ministry of Environment and the community leaders/CDCs. PAPs that would not need to relocate, especially those that their Fence/balcony/ relaxation outdoors will be impacted must be informed/given the civil work schedule which at least provides a two weeks prior notice to PAPs before actual civil works in the area or site. Resettlement monitoring of income restoration measures shall however be continuous throughout the project cycle together with other project activity implementations.

10CHAPTER TEN: MONITORING AND EVALUATION

10.1 OverviewMonitoring and Evaluation are integral components of the programme/project management cycle used at all stages of the cycle, monitoring and evaluation can

93

help to strengthen project design, enrich quality of interventions, improve decision-making, and enhance learning. The key objectives of monitoring the RAP implementation would be as follows;

Transparency and accountability in terms of use of project resources Providing constant feedback on the extent to which the RAP implementation

are achieving their goals Identifying potential problems at an early stage and proposing possible

solutions Providing guidelines for the planning of future projects and, Improving project design

There will be two levels of monitoring; namely internal monitoring and external monitoring. Under internal monitoring the SPMU monitoring and evaluation officer will lead the task for the SPMU M&E Unit while an external monitoring and evaluation officer will be engaged periodically by SMEnv.

10.2 Internal MonitoringThe internal monitoring and evaluation officer will report to the Project Coordinator at the PMU. Implementation of the RAP will be regularly supervised and monitored by the Monitoring and Evaluation/ Social Officer in coordination with staff of the NEWMAP- PMU. The findings will be recorded in quarterly reports to be furnished to the NEWMAP- PMU, and the World Bank. Lessons learnt during implementation will be documented and disseminated so that gaps identified can serve as valuable information for subsequent projects. Tasks of the Monitoring and Evaluation Officer

Verify that the baseline information of all PAPs have been carried out and that the valuation of assets, lost or damaged, and the provision of compensation, resettlement and other rehabilitation entitlements has been carried out in accordance with the provisions of this policy framework and the respective inventory and RAP.

Oversee that the RAP is implemented as designed and approved. Verify that funds for implementingRAPs are provided to the respective local

level (district) in a timely manner in amounts sufficient for their purposes and that such funds are used by the SMEnv in accordance with the provisions of the RAP.

Ensure the identification and signature/thumb print of PAPs before and during receipt of compensation entitlements.

Record all grievances and their resolution and ensure that complaints are dealt with in a timely manner.

94

10.3 Independent MonitoringAn independent agency will be retained by the SMEnv to periodically carry out external monitoring and evaluation of the implementation of the RAP. The independent agency will be either an academic or research institutions, non- governmental organizations (NGO) or an independent consulting firm. They should have qualified and experienced staff and their terms of reference acceptable to the funding partners In addition to verifying the information furnished in the internal supervision and monitoring reports, the independent monitoring agency will visit a sample of 10% of the Project affected Population in the project area, six months after the RAP has been implemented to:

Determine whether the procedures for PAPs participation and delivery of compensation and other rehabilitation entitlements have been done in accordance with the Policy Framework and the respective RAP.

Assess if the RAP objective or enhancement or at least restoration of living standards and income levels of PAPs have been met.

Gather qualitative indications of the social and economic impact of project implementation on the PAPs.

Suggest modification in the implementation procedures of the RAP, as the case may be, to achieve the principles and objectives of this policy framework.

The terms of reference for this task and selection of qualified agency will be prepared by the NEWMAP-PMU in collaboration with the World Bank at the beginning of project implementation stage.

10.4 Monitoring IndicatorsThey include:

Delivery and usage of compensation and resettlement entitlements; Allocation of replacement land and residential plots, where applicable; Reconstruction of new houses and other infrastructure, where applicable; Compensation measures applied to compensate for damage during

construction activities; Reported grievances and action taken; Problems encountered and action taken; General issues related to the success of compensation and resettlement

measures. Implementation progress; Compensation and resettlement policies; Changes in livelihoods and incomes among PAPs; and, Consultation with and participation of PAPs and other Stakeholders.

ANNEX SIX: TERMS OF REFERENCE FOR THE PREPARATION OF A RESETTLEMENT ACTION PLAN (RAP)

BACKGROUND:The Government of Nigeria is implementing the multi-sectoral Nigeria Erosion and Watershed Management Project (NEWMAP), which is financed by the World Bank, Global Environment Facility, the Special Climate Change Fund, and the Government of Nigeria. NEWMAP finances activities implemented by States and activities implemented by the Federal Government. The Project currently includes 19 States, namely Anambra, Abia, Cross River, Edo, Enugu, Ebonyi, Imo, Kogi, Gombe, Delta, Plateu, Sokoto, Oyo, Katsina, Nasarawa, Akwa-Ibom, Bauchi and Borono.

The lead agency at the Federal level is the Federal Ministry of Environment (FME), Department of Erosion, Flood and Coastal Zone Management. State and Local Governments, Local Communities and CSOs are or will be involved in the Project, given that the Project is a multi-sector operation involving MDAs concerned with Water Resources Management, Public Works, Agriculture, Regional and Town Planning, Earth and Natural Resources Information and disaster risk Management.

The development objective of NEWMAP is: to rehabilitate degraded lands and reduce long-term erosion vulnerability in targeted areas. At State level, NEWMAP activities involve medium-sized civil works such as construction of infrastructure and/or stabilization or rehabilitation in and around the gullies themselves, as well as small works in the small watershed where gullies form and expand. These works trigger the World Bank's Safeguard Policies including Environmental Assessment OP 4.01; Natural Habitats OP 4.04; Cultural Property OP 11.03; Involuntary Resettlement OP 4.12 Safety of Dams OP 4.37; Pest Management Safeguard Policy OP 4.09; and Projects on International Waterways OP 7.50.

The environmental and social safeguards concerns are being addressed through two national instruments already prepared under the project an Environmental and Social Management Framework (ESMF) and a Resettlement Policy Framework, (RPF). These framework instruments need to be translated into specific, costed, measurable and monitorable actions for specific intervention sites through the preparation of site specific management and action plan.ESMF: In general the ESMF specifies the procedures to be used for preparing approving and implementing (I) Environmental Social Assessments ESA’s or alternately both an SA or an EA and/or (II) Environmental Social Management Plans ESMP’s or alternately both an EMP and SMP for individual civil works packages developed for each project ESMP’s are essential for category B projects.

RPF: the RPF applies when land acquisition leads to the temporary or permanent physical displacement of persons and/or loss of shelter and/or loss of livelihoods

182

and/or loss denial or restriction of access to economic resources due to project activities it sets out the resettlement and compensation principles organizational arrangements and design criteria to be applied to meet the needs of project affected people and specifies the contents for a resettlement action plan rap for each package of investments a resettlement policy framework (RPF) which serves as a practical tool during the programme formulation design implementation and monitoring was prepared for NEWMAP which serves as a guide for the present terms of reference.The activities of component 1 will involve civil works in specific intervention site, that is, construction of drainage works and/or rehabilitation of gullies this could result in the acquisition of land or displacement for families, business or public infrastructure thus triggering the World Bank OP/BP 4.12- involuntary resettlement.

Objective and Scope of the ConsultancyThe objective of the consulting services is to prepare a Resettlement Action Plan (RAP) for the following gully erosion sites in Anambra State. The site covered under by this TOR are:The intervention sites covered are as follows:

LOT 1: Ojoto and Ojoto

The preparation of the RAP requires that an engineering design for the site is available it is also strongly recommended that high resolution digital imagery be acquired for each proposed site intervention.ENGINEERING DESIGNS:detailed engineering designs for intervention sites will be presented to the consultant on request.

OBJECTIVE OF THE RAPThe aim of the RAP is to identify and assess the human impact of the proposed works at the target gully erosion sites as described above and to prepare an action plan to be implemented in coordination with the civil works in line with World Bank policy and Nigeria policies and laws. Experience has shown that involuntary resettlement can cause loss of income assets and community ties that especially among the poor can be essential for survival and well-being in extreme cases involuntary resettlement can lead to the dissolution of families impoverishment and health problems the resettlement plan will identify the project affected persons PAPS engage them in participatory discussions regarding the plan and formulating a plan of action to adequately compensate people for their losses.The policy of the world bank is to ensure that persons involuntarily resettled caused by the taking of land in the context of a project supported by the bank have an opportunity to restore or improve their level of living to at least the pre project level project affected people should participate in the benefits of the project and they should be given options regarding how they restore or improve their previous level of living in the NEWMAP project it is not sufficient for communities to passively

183

accept project works and the impact of these works rather they must be mobilized to contribute actively to project design and implementation and to maintain the works following implementation this feature underscores the need for accurate analysis of local social organization.

KINDS OF RESETTLEMENT PLANSThree kinds of resettlement plans can emerge from this process depending on the degree of impact they are;Resettlement Action Plan (RAP)Abbreviated Resettlement Plan (ARAP) Land Acquisition Plan (LAP)

The RAP is prepared when more than 200 people are displaced by the project works;

The ARAP is a simplified plan suitable only when fewer than 200 people are displaced (see OP4.12 annex A);

The LAP is prepared when no displacement occurs but land is acquired for the purpose of project implementation.

RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE RAPBefore resources can be allocated to a specific erosion project the state project management unit (SPMU) must prepare a rap satisfactory to the world bank advice and suggestions on the preparation of RAP’s may be obtained from the relevant specialists in the federal PMU (FPMU) in the Ministry of Environment. Normally specialized consultants prepare plans but the SPMU is accountable for the quality and timeliness of such plans.

FIRST STEPS IN PREPARING A RAPThe first step in preparation of a RAP is engagement with the community this must begin from an early date and a relationship of trust must be formed between the executing agency and the affected community in which both sides have an opportunity to air their views in general small neighbourhood meetings are preferable to large public audiences where there is a greater tendency for matters to be politicized and people tend to “grandstand” and posture rather than exchange information in an atmosphere of cooperation. It is necessary that member of the SPMU and the engineering firm that will design the works be present at these meetings. Hopes and demands expressed by community members should be taken seriously and if possible incorporated into plans.

The next step in RAP preparation is to identify the perimeter within which people and land will be affected by displacement or land acquisition for this purpose maps engineering drawings satellite imagery are necessary.

184

Third a complete census survey shall be done of all the families’ businesses public buildings farms and other infrastructure located within the perimeter. GIS technology is highly recommended for this purpose with all manmade features being geo-referenced the use of hand held GPS device will facilitate establishing the coordinates of each property identified the census includes data on age, gender, occupation, income, sources of livelihood of all persons who live on or derive a living from the area of land as well as information on houses businesses and other structures in use in the affected area.

The size (in m2) of each identifiable landholding affected by the project shall be recorded in addition to the area (in m2) of the area actually affected by the project. In cases where the engineering design will result in the loss of most of the land area or when the land remaining is not suitable for cultivation or other use the owner may request compensation for areas that become inaccessible as a result of project works.

Each land parcel and structure should be numbered geo-referenced, photographed and described in detail. Construction materials, roofing and measurements should be noted in accordance with the standards in use in the particular state or federal standards. All information should be kept in a single folder (physical or virtual) for easy retrieval and cross tabulation the use of a simple database management platform is recommended such as Oracle, Microsoft Access etc.In Nigeria, it is important to include such feature as family compounds, places of worship, schools, health posts, sports fields, burial grounds and places held sacred by local populations farm structures such as fencing, storage buildings and the like are also to be included.Each structure included in the census should be valuated according to its replacement value in the local market (see below).

Because of the linear nature of streams, erosion gullies and roads, it is important to identify existing features or aspects of the engineering design that could impact on communities if land is taken for the purpose of erosion control or drainage, there is likely to be an impact on communication within and among communities. Barriers to access caused by project works should be considered in the RAP and, where necessary mitigation plans should be included.

SOCIOECONOMIC STUDYBased on the census community meetings and other data collected in the field a socioeconomic profile for the affected community should be prepared as part of the RAP. Some of the topics that shall be included are:

demographic structure of the community; leadership patterns and political process; family structure;

185

Services available in or near the community: schools, health facilities, credit facilities, religious organizations, government agencies;

Debit/credit relationships Existing organizations (E.g. age grades, religious groups, etc) and capacity for

community action; Conflicts and divisions (ethnic religious, etc) within the community or

between communities; Important local customs and festivals; Education levels; Permanence of the community; Primary forms of livelihood; Community attitudes towards erosion and drainage; Relevant aspects of gender relations; women’s vs. men’s roles.

The entire range of social characteristics shall be woven together by a sociologist or other social scientist to paint a coherent picture of how the community is likely to respond to change and how best to make community members active participants in the changes that must take place.

DEVELOPMENT OF THE RESETTLEMENT PLANBased on the census and socio-economic study a resettlement plan is designed for projects that involve only land acquisition, it is important to identify all landowners, farmers, cattle breeders and those who have claims on the land that will be taken. The primary issue is to ascertain the impact that the project will have on livelihoods. This applies not only to land owners but also land users such as tenant, farmers, renters, and the like. The impact may range from nil to virtually destroying the livelihood of persons who depend heavily on the land for income. The design for the project and the Environment and Social Management Plan (ESMP) shall take account of social organization and propose entry points, communication techniques, incentives and other necessary features of project design that will ensure active community participation before during and after implementation.Where people actually occupy the land, the impact of the project may fall on housing businesses public infrastructure and other structures.

MITIGATION POLICYResettlement is about finding adequate ways of compensating people for loss of shelter, place of business or farmland. However the task does not end with relocation. Perhaps the single most important feature of post-resettlement rehabilitation is the restoration of livelihoods. In some cases livelihoods are not affected and people are able to continue in their chosen economic activities as before with no loss of income. In other cases however, loss of farmland, residence or business clientele can create a spiral leading to impoverishment. In such cases the resettlement plan can include specific measures to restore or improve livelihoods.

186

Mitigation of resettlement can take various forms when affected people depend primarily on land for their livelihood. Bank policy strongly recommends offering land in compensation for lost land so that the land-based economy can be maintained. In some cases cash compensation for lost assets is allowed, but only where there is a free and active market for land, housing or other lost assets. The bank does not approve of compensation packages that lead people to squat illegally on public land or that sets them back deeper into poverty. Where poor people are involved, it is often necessary to provide special assistance to assure that people manage their compensation adequately. Other forms of compensation involve retraining people for other professions for which there is a demand. Special care should be taken with vulnerable people who lack social support necessary to allow them to restore their prior life style. Cash compensation may be used but only under certain conditions. Cash compensation is acceptable only when there is an active market in land or other assets that people can acquire in order to restore their livelihoods. Works may not begin until resettled people have been adequately compensated according to the RAP. Temporary resettlement is generally not acceptable, except in cases where the works require people to move away from their homes and lands and then allows them to return to the same places.

Design of mitigation plans involves three tools: (a) asset valuation (b) the definition of entitlements; and (c) an eligibility matrix. Entitlements are goods services and sometimes cash made available to affected people to offset their losses caused by the taking of land. Note that business losses not caused by the taking of land are not covered by this policy.(a.) Valuation of Assets: assets that will be lost such as land, homes, fencing, un-

harvested crops, and permanent crops such as fruits trees, etc should be valued at replacement cost that is the current cost of replacing the asset with a similar asset on the open market. Depreciation is not to be considered in valuing assets. Many states maintain a standard table of values for homes, land, crops, etc for expropriation purposes, but these tables are often out of date and do not reflect actual prices practiced on the market. It may be necessary to conduct a new survey using up to date information. Tax records in which the landowner declares the value of his/her land are notoriously inaccurate because landowners frequently understate the value of their homes or land in order to reduce their tax bills. The purpose of valuation is to make it possible for the affected party to acquire new assets that will be equivalent to or better than the assets lost. Depreciation is not to be considered. Various methods can be used to estimate the value of property such as data on land transactions made within the past year or two, construction costs, estimates by real estate professionals and others. The goal is to determine the replacement value of each affected structure for the purpose of compensation.

(b.) Definition of entitlements: Entitlements are goods and services provided to offset losses caused by expropriation of land, houses, farm buildings, shops, etc entitlements are intended to offset the losses incurred by people when

187

land is expropriated for project purposes so they should be roughly equal in value. There are some exceptions, however. Entitlements are sometime set at a minimum level to allow people to be resettled without a significant loss of living style. This is often the case with squatters who have lived in place for a long time but who lack legal title to the land they occupy. Entitlements may consist of land with improvements (e.g. irrigation), new housing, building materials to build houses, cash payments, training for a new profession, especially where it is not possible to continue in a previous activity because of the resettlement.

(c.) Eligibility matrix the eligibility matrix matches categories of affected people with specific entitlements or a selection of entitlements. For example farmers who lose up to one-half of their land may be eligible to receive plot of land equivalent to the land lost or cash compensation for the portion lost. On the other hand farmers who lose a large portion of their land may be entitled to a new lot equivalent to the entire plot they farmed previously or to cash compensation. The reason is that when a large portion of a farm is taken it may lose its economic viability and the farmer may opt to be compensated for the entire farm. The eligibility matrix must be crafted carefully to satisfy the needs of the displaced families and the available financial envelope. There is no one-size-fits-all eligibility matrix. Rather the matrix must be worked out in consultation with the community and in accordance with availability of resources. In some cases, for example, land may be so scarce that it will be impossible to provide land-for-land. Annex B provides an example of an eligibility matrix that is illustrative of how such matrices are constructed.

CUT-OFF DATEA cut-off date shall be set and announced to the affected community. Usually the cut-off date corresponds to the date of completion of the census. After this date, no compensation will be made to families or persons who install themselves within the affected area or for improvements made to homes or other structures. The purpose of the cut-off date is to avoid speculative investments inside the affected area by persons seeking entitlements. If two years or more pass after the declaration of a cut-off date, the census must be repeated and new valuation computed for assets.

BUSINESSESBusinesses and service establishments may be displaced by erosion control projects. In such cases business owners may be compensated with cash, with a new place of business or other benefits. Service providers, such as auto repair shops should be provided with a building site in a location where they will be able to attract customers or keep existing ones. Business owners are entitled to compensation for lost profits during the time they are unable to operate due to displacement or while they rebuild their clientele. Small, informal businesses present a problem because they normally do not keep records nor do they pay

188

taxes. In such cases, an estimate of profits may be based on daily turnover on inventory or other methods of estimation.

VULNERABLE PEOPLEThe census shall be used to identify vulnerable people among the affected population. Vulnerable people shall be defined as elderly people who lack a social support network to assist them in moving to a new location; persons suffering from a mental or physical disability, single mothers of small children and very poor persons living below the poverty line. The entitlement table shall include this category as having special entitlements including personal assistance with moving, reestablishment of household, reestablishment of a social network and appropriate assistance form informal or formal sources. This role is normally played by social workers.

CONFLICTS AND CLOUDED TITLESSometimes it is not possible to compensate landowners and homeowners because of conflicting claims or unsettled estates. In cases of inheritance for example where the heirs to a property cannot all be found it may be necessary to deposit funds into an escrow account held by a reliable financial or government entity until all claims are settled. The proponent agency has an obligation to proactively assist the affected parties and claimants to settle their differences in a timely manner. In no case, is it acceptable for people to be evicted from their homes or farms without having made provisions for them to be re-housed and rehabilitated.

PUBLIC FACILITIESPublic facilities such as schools, houses of worship, sports facilities that are displaced or become inaccessible because of the taking of land should be rebuilt at project expense at a location and in a manner acceptable to the users of that facility.

DISCLOSUREAfter the resettlement plan has been developed, it must be disclosed in a manner that is accessible to the community and other interested parties in the language used by members of the community. Printed copies may be deposited at local agencies and posted online. Prior to implementation, additional community meetings should be held to discuss the plan and how it will be implemented.

IMPLEMENTATIONResettlement must be closely coordinated with construction. A timetable shall be included in the resettlement plan and compliance with this timetable shall be monitored. Deviations from the timetable shall be justified in monitoring reports (see below). It is not acceptable for construction to begin with the demolition of homes or schools before appropriate measures have been taken to replace housing

189

and other structures. If cash compensation is used, it must be paid before people are obliged to move.

RESPONSIBILITIES AND ACCOUNTABLILITIESThe plan shall contain a matrix listing all entities (public and private) responsible for designing and implementing the resettlement plan. It shall include columns indicating the role of each agency, the resources allocated to it and the source of these resources and legal instrument to be used to assure performance (e.g. contract, MOU, operating agreement). It is essential that the development of the plan include contact with the management of each agency and their agreement to perform their particular role in a timely fashion. For example, if land is allocated to displaced farmers, the local land registrar must agree to register each land parcel and issue the appropriate certificates of occupancy and land titles in a timely fashion. Such arrangements must not be left until after implementation has begun.

FINANCINGThe resettlement plan shall include a detailed budget, a budget justification and a financing plan that shows the source of funding for the overall resettlement plan. Bank financing may be used to pay for studies, prepare resettlement plans, and to pay salaries to social workers and other staff needed to work with the population. The same procurement rules that apply to other project activities apply to resettlement activities. Solutions that involve environmental impacts such as clearing forested land for new farmland and other activities with significance should be subjected to Environmental Impact Assessments. Loan funds may not be used for land acquisition or for cash compensation. These costs shall be paid out of local counterpart funds. The costs of resettlement shall be included in the overall project costs.

GRIEVANCE PROCEDURESEach resettlement plan shall include clear procedures for filing and resolving grievances from the affected population. Grievance procedures fall into the following steps;Reception and registration: affected people shall have the right to file complaints or grievances with regard to any aspect of the resettlement project. They may do so verbally in writing or through a representative. Grievances shall be recorded by the implementing agency with the name of the griever, address and location information, the nature of the grievance and resolution desired. Receipt of grievances shall be acknowledged within 48hours of receipt by an official authorized to receive grievances.

Resolution: all grievances shall be referred to the appropriate party for resolution and shall be resolved within 15days after receipt. If additional information is needed, project management can authorize and additional 15days for resolution. Results of grievances shall be disclosed to the griever in writing with an explanation of the basis of the decision.

190

Appeals: grievers dissatisfied with the response to their grievance may file an appeal. In such cases, the responsible authority shall assemble a committee to hear cases including at least one disinterested party form outside the company or agency responsible for the resettlement project. There will be no further redress available outside the resettlement project. In such cases grievances would need to be pursued through the legal system.

Monitoring: during project implementation and for at least 3 months following the conclusion of the project monthly reports will be prepared by the responsible agency regarding the number and nature of grievances filed and made available to project management and included in the trimester report by the SPMU and FPMU.

MONITORING AND EVALUATIONThe resettlement plan must include a timetable and performance indicators among the indicators shall be;

Meetings held with community (date, attendees, topics discussed) Date of conclusion of census and announcement of cut-off date Presentation of plan to World Bank through SPMU Date of presentation of plan to community and posting Date of first compensation (e.g. moving families to new housing) Date of midpoint in project implementation Date at which last family or business leaves the affected area

Monthly monitoring reports shall be filed by the agency or company carrying out the resettlement plan referring to these dates.

After project implementation at the time by which all families and businesses shall have been resettled and compensated and rehabilitation measures carried out, an evaluation shall be carried out using evaluation reports and interviews with resettled families, farmers and businesses. While satisfaction of the resettled families is an important factor, it can be expected that many people will be dissatisfied with having had to move at all. The most important feature of resettlement is the extent to which resettled people have had the opportunity to rebuild their livelihoods at a level similar to or better than the pre-project level. Surveys that examine the satisfaction of people with the resettlement they underwent are not usually helpful.

CAPACITY BUILDING AND TRAININGIn order to ensure that the resettlement related activities are carried out in a satisfactory manner, the consultant should provide training for staff from the implementing agency and other institutions involved in implementation. The training would cover the issues as outlined above and which could include the following: (i) costs of the training; (ii) training workshops and other forms of

191

consultations to ensure is full disclosure and discussed with PAP’s and other stakeholders, as needed; and (iii) duration or timetable of the training should be clearly defined, including for consultations that will be conducted on a regular basis (e.g. monthly feedback).The consultant will analyze the need for additional capacity building for the involved institutions and actors, and design a long-term consultation and training program for the implementing agency.

FORMAT OF RESETTLEMENT PLANThe RAP will include the following sections:

Cover page Table of contents List of acronyms and their definition Executive summary Introduction Description of the proposed project Description of the area of influence and social baseline conditions Summary of consultations with relevant stakeholders and affected persons Summary of relevant local and federal policy legal regulatory and

administrative frameworks Discussion of the social impacts of the proposed project The proposed resettlement plan
